DeputyDeath Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I want to cover my base island in man-made turfs to prevent flooding full stop, and didn't want to do the whole thing if it was unnecessary. Also, what is the cheapest craftable turf (or one that prevents flooding), and would my idea actually work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Cat Meow Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 An entire island covered in man-made turfs would most likely stop all flood spawns, although tides could still be a minor problem in areas which were previously "beach" biomes. I'd recommend Wooden Flooring. Update 1: Covering even a medium-sized island took 678 wooden turfs (2712 logs), The optimal island to cover in wood would be a tiny island with no beaches. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=622610956 Update 2: The island I covered in wood has no flooding after a few days during Monsoon Season. Other nearby islands however, were mostly covered in floods. Conclusion: The idea works, however it would only be practical on a small-scale.

Looks like I'll have a project in the long run to keep this world going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
