If you don't like the increased difficulty from the soil changes, feel free to modify the Terrain_AC.xml.

Conflicts
This mod alters vanilla ground objects (soil, rich soil, gravel, march, and lichen). Any mod loaded after it which alters these terrain will override these changes. Other than that, I don't anticipate any conflicts.
