natural tiles Add tech to build natural tiles

[Ambaire]

Need a new tech to let the dupes build natural tiles of any resource. The way I see this working is to allow material selection and require the default weight that would be in a world gen tile of that material.

Maybe introduce "natural" tiles as a buildable tile type. It would be like a farm tile but would behave like a natural one for plant farming and hatch burrowing.

Hm. Should abyssalite be excluded from this? You would lose 50% every time you dug it up again, but allowing perfect insulated tiles might be OP.

[Evaris]

Perhaps just limit it to "Soft" material types, like dirt, clay, sand, etc.  Would work for the purpose and would make sense.  Though, maybe pair it with having all such materials gravity-affected so you'd need to build a support layer of normal tiles beneath.

Well i can make the whole map dirt if you want. Tho process is a bit involved.

 

Would make natural parks too easy. And wild farms.

I was thinking of a tile that`s build but acts as a natural, so that you can lead pipes through them and deconstruct them but wild plants can be planted there as well. For balance it should be just soft stuff like dirt, clay, sand.

It already exist. It is called https://oxygennotincluded.gamepedia.com/Shove_Vole

I was thinking of the same. Allowing Level 2 Miners to construct Dirt & Clay tiles and Level 2 Farmers to put seeds into them would be a nice mod ^^ sure, it would throw game balance out the window but personaly, I think game balance is only a concept

Edit: as a tradeoff, one could reduce the natural growth rate to only 10% domestic growth
