Terrain transformation

[Maerchen]

Hi, I never bothered checking this, but does an farm transform every other type of hex to agricultural or does it transform plains only?

I am on a heavily forested world and would like to cut some trees.

While I have not checked it for a while, I think Open Air farms will not expand into forrests or ruins. However they do skip over them to get to any eligible terrain in the range.

Almost certain open air farms will cut down forests. Remember setting up farms in forested areas and seeing the area slowly turn to agricultural land.

Was on a cloud forest world I believe.

Give it a try and you should see starting with the tile the farm is on change with some time.

Here is two images, one at Round 3 and the other at Round 100.
It appears that agriculture has pushed the jungles to the west of Regina back.

Thank you, that is very helpful evidence!

IIRC Dastactic said in a video one shouldn't build farms near scavengeable Ruins because they'll remove the Ruins Terrain... did that get changed?

I am 65% certain that i have had farms develop underneath ruins in a number of games without removing them.
