Nauvis. Artificial soil to make plating area with extra bonuses

[erkki772]

Some nice little very expensive artificial soil for Nauvis only. It would be really cool to actually make even little decorative green fields to boost engineer morale.

Bonuses:
Pollution absorption rate would be 3x compared to standard grass. It's highly nutritious soil
Planted trees have 10x higher pollution resistance

Building recipe:

200 stone
1000 nutrient
50 Jellynut seeds
50 Yumako seeds
200 ammonia
400 steam
400 water

This recipe would be Aquilo only as it's required to use ammonia (wish is highly used in agriculture). Aquilo have very little recipe to make there, so this would be good end game challenge.

… to boost engineer morale.

What are you, Depressed? After spending a hard day’s work beating back endless hordes of Biters and Spitters, engineering solutions to new puzzles, and darting across interplanetary space? I call that a good time!


Pollution Absorbtion by tiles is possible; I don’t think there exists any mechanism to change the Pollution Resistance of trees based upon their Tile though (which would make this hard-to-implement). Use of Ammonia in a “fertilizer” context is a great idea for Agriculture… I’m not sure if any Mods have taken this up yet?
