Can you translate that for the ASCII impaired? I see the land on the left, water in the center and a bridge on the right. There appears to be an open pit to a chaos realm on the shore of the water…

Ahhh…

A Trffid Queen (F) is creating new trees (7), (1) and shrubs (#), and to do so the game os painting fresh dirt (.) over the water, effectively replacing the water.

Because the queen creates land in front of it it can a floating or boating survivor who can, with patience, kite it into the water and create a strip of land. The only other way I know of to make new land out of water in the base game is to use the debug menu.

Pretty clever idea. I got an artifact that summons shadows and produces trees like a triffid queen, and I reckon I can do the same as well.

Even better: it works in thin air (above 0 z-level) too.

Exploits for the win! Turns out those cheating alien fucks can be used for good after all.

I have found triffids to be my preferred neighbours since before DDA. So much easy food. By the way, are triffids limited in number or not?
