Igginator:
Ok i have begun playing fortress mode and im having trouble finding out how to get a famr up and running.
I have managed to create mud underground by mining into an underground water source but it only lasts a tiny bit before it all dries up  :'(
So my plants never grow and when it rains i get about 1 or 2 units of water for only like a day....

Please help

Max White:
You don't need to keep the water there, just the mud! As long as water has run over soil it goes muddy, then your set to build a farm without having to worry about adding water ever again.

Igginator:
ok cool but wont the plump helmets dry up without any water?

ISGC:
no, you need only water the soil once.

Igginator:
ok thanks for that guys. Ill go try that now.
Smash open a well and build a plot quickly  ;D

If i kept the farm near the well and whenever it rained they were smothered in water would that have an effect on them?
