Title: Surround geothermal vents with buildable ground
Post by: Pink Photon on March 20, 2015, 04:25:00 PM
Always make the 6x6 grid surrounding a geothermal vent able to support a structure.

I can't build the generator because the top right tile is mud.

I support this suggestion as well since the fertilizer pumps are no longer in the game to fix issues like this. I've actually modded the mud terrain def myself to make mud tiles capable to be built on just because of this issue.

[edit to add] I've attached that mod to this post if anybody is interested in it. I'm not going to release it in the official releases section but it is free for anybody to use in any way they like.

Thanks Igabod, this may come in handy.

I've actually already adjusted the geyser placer to just not place geyser too close to ground that doesn't support the Heavy terrain affordance.

It would be interesting if area surrounding a geyser was always warm, even in winter. Currently it appears to melt snow around it, but it's strictly visual.
