Tilled Soil

Description
About
Since the beginning of civilisation the human race has been tilling soil to bring vital nutrients to the surface when planting crops. With this mod humanity in the year 5500 can too!

This mod adds a new flooring; tilled soil, which is a buildable version of soil, with 200% fertility.

In addition it adds research for terrain rehabilitation allowing you to build dirt onto smooth stone and other natural floor types so you can build underground greenhouses.

Please rate and favorite!

FAQ
Q: Is this mod overpowered?
A: No.

Q: But, it allows you to build soil with 200% fertility, which isn't realistic. I'm looking for a mod that adds soil with 101% ferility to satisfy my dreams of being a real farmer. I don't want crop growth to be sped up by any noticable amount.
A: That isn't a question. The goal of this mod is to provide a method of more compact farming and the ability to construct terrain with artificial fertility. As a user of my own mod I can say this mod achieves that.

Q: Is this mod ever going to change to suit my specific ideas about tilled soil?
A: No.

There wont be any incompatibility issues. Regarding balance I'm not sure, tilled soil probably rendered fertilizer obsolete because I don't remember using it besides burning in. It's up to you if that's an acceptable imbalance or not I suppose.

Hi! thanks for the mod, really enjoy it!, I have a question though, about compatibility with another mod.
Does this mod become redundant-isch or kinda overpowered, or work with at all, the mod:
Dubs bad hygiene?
Since I just found out the other day that it has fertilize features.
If your mod "tilled soil" is even able to be fertilized with that mod, and how strong that would be I have no clue but maybe I have to ignore the fertilize stuff from that mod on your tilled plots of mine, or if some other alternative mod might be a better idea.

But I love the mod and its whole concept cuz I thought as you, why not be able to till the land with or without research, and later research for tools or knowledge to make better fertilized land/plots. Also to make a neat looking farm plot a lot easier that you surround with some borders/floors for a tidy and clean look and the plot actually looks like farmland.

@Paolini Yeah and for example i have added more types of plants i.e ingredients, and my pawns will require food variety to stay happy. And some mod i added nerfed and complicated the production of devil cloth etc. So this is to balance it up a bit. And having 50% of my base covered in farms is not what i like in my base. And i don't want to focus so much on farming, i know it and i want to focus on other parts of the game for example exploring.

@Zonbai Farming is already overpowered in vanilla this mod just allows you to keep your farms 20% smaller for the same yield. But if you want to experience it yourself go ahead and plant as much rice as you can and see what happens once your storage is full.

i got a question, does this mod let me make underground gardens? (trying to make a custom insect xeno-type hive)

Used it for awhile...
You can make a 200% soil field anywhere you want in under a minute...
How is that not overpowered?
Might as well be a cheat code.
I cant build normal soil over stone, when i try to select soil in the floor section it immediately changes to tilled soil

Not sure why, all my tilled soil is low resolution now?

like this one does: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3554379016
