Mulcher to Create Earth Tiles

15 votes

Mulcher: I've seen a few players suggest a way to make dirt, I think a good building for it would be the mulcher. It could have the same general recipe as the metal shredder, but instead of turning scrap to blocks, it turns logs to mulch or dirt. The dirt could function the same way explosives do, needing storage until it's physically placed in the world.

Some things to consider: Perhaps this could be unique to the Folktails? Furthermore, mulch isn't just made from logs, it can be made from leaves, compost, and wood chips (rubber as well, but that doesn't matter much for the beavers), so in the future should leaves be collectable? Should food spoil and be able to used for compost? Just a few things to consider, I hope this idea is well received.
What do y'all think?

or it could be a compost pile that takes food, and after some time it will output dirt

It could even be faction specific, like how I suggested the same thing as one of the features of a third faction.

What if we were able to add soil or reconstruct it (made some mistakes with dynamite)? The beavers, of course, would need a new building for this: a building that uses either food or logs to create compost. The function would be like with dynamite, just in reverse.

"Terraforming / new building" (suggested by MatGreen on 2021-11-12), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

Mulch that Beavers can build into blocks and maybe use as compost, maybe they could collect dead plants (eg dead blueberries) for this building too? how much would be good for a block? twenty? forty? Maybe once a block has been made there's a waiting time before the block is plantable (meaning that once the beavers build a block the block takes maybe a day before farmers can plant anything on it, just so the new soil can set and stabilise)?

Maybe Clay blocks that need to be dried in a Kiln to make the ingame dirt blocks that I can grow things on.
