Five different types of soil exist in the world at different fertility rates: bony, barren, low, medium, and very high (called "Terra preta"). Each type has the following starting levels of nutrients, respectively: 0%, 5%, 25%, 50%, 80%. Soil retains its fertility levels when removed and placed elsewhere, as long as it hasn't yet been converted with a hoe into farmland. Players can find deposits of Terra Preta in mild and hot areas with enough rainfall, mostly on plains and low hills.<br><br> | ||
