Configurable Tilled Soil

Description
There are many versions of Tilled Soil. None of them had the exact combination of features I wanted, so I made my own. I also added some stuff. Here it is.

This mod adds the ability to till soil to increase its fertility. There is also a research project, Terrain Rehabilitation, that allows you to replace other natural floors with regular soil. Doing this requires that you get the soil from somewhere, so you can now designate growable soil to dig up bags of dirt.

Configuration options:
  • Fertility of tilled soil, default is 120%, max is 1000%.
  • Terrain affordance required for tilling, default growable, can change to light.
  • Terrain affordance required for placing dirt, default rough stone, can change to light.
  • Whether tilling requires bags of dirt.
  • How many bags of dirt is needed for each tilled tile.
  • How much work it takes to till.

FAQ
Why can't I remove a dirt floor that I placed?
Because you can only have one natural floor and one placed floor on a tile. Since tilled soil is placed on top of dirt, placing dirt has to replace the natural floor.

Why do the bags of dirt look like boxes?
Because I'm bad at art and the mod is otherwise done. Maybe I'll do a better job someday. Look at that shovel though! That sure is a shovel.

@Stuff Maybe if I eventually add more such integration, it would make sense to include separate settings for those. But as it stands it's a simple xml patch that you can just delete.

can you make the dirt requirement for packed dirt optional? currently its forced for it.

@Zaximus Rex Done, it was actually super easy.

Let me know if it seems within the scope of your abilities, I'm not opposed to a commission if that's the sort of thing you'd do!

@Zaximus Rex Vanilla Expanded what? I'm not looking through five hundred mods to find the one with packed dirt. Also, no promises, since VE code can be difficult to work with, but I'll look into it.

I would absolutely go bonkers for an update to make Packed Dirt from vanilla expanded utilize this system of first shoveling dirt and then creating work orders that require said dirt. I'm a huge stan for packed dirt aesthetically and functionally but it really isn't balanced at all.

That sure is a shovel. Yep. Shovels don't get much better than that. Good job on that shovel.
