Plant sidebar confusion
« on: August 15, 2011, 07:16:20 am »
I found the sidebar quite confusing when looking up how to grow underground plants. In the Biome bit it says "Underground Depth: 1-3" which I now understand is where the plant will grow naturally but I initially thought that you could only grow these at that depth in farms too. Maybe some text could be added to the sidebar to clarify this for newbies, like: "Can be grown in farms at any depth". Alternatively this could also be added to the main article on all subterranean plants.

All plants, above-ground or subterranean, can be grown in any biome.

Besides, depth 1-3 already means "all depths", so I'm not sure what you're complaining about...

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Firstly I am not "complaining". The wiki is there to explain the game to people so pointing out areas where it could be improved is surely a good thing. Secondly by saying 1-3 means "all depths" I guess it is referring to how many caverns down the cavern is rather then z-levels. This could then easily be clarified by changing "Underground Depth: 1-3" to something like "Up to 3 caverns down".
