0004881: My grass is not growing back (mountain biome, sand).
My grass is not growing back, i honestly have no clue as to why,

THe main problem is that i have to keep moving my pastures farther and farther away, which is making me run out of space
I use LNP, Mayday graphics

Weather Temp set to yes, they might have been set to no at some point early on.
Economy, Invaders and Cave-ins set to no
No tags attached.

Hot or mountain biome?

I have noticed grass not growing back in scorching tropical biome, probably due to it being too hot.

When its eaten it leaves either a clay or a sandy soil, the mountanious area with the sand(only floor deep) is where i have most of my pastures, because of the open area, i had a few that overlapped the clay area (floor and 1 tile below deep) those dont seem to have regrown either

(i used prefect map generator a while back, but not for this map not sure if that could have done something)

This still seems to exist in 40.05, even with the mountain grasses. My animals eat until there's nothing but sand, then it refuses to grow back or spread.

As a temporary workaround: If you channel into soil, even in a biome where grass doesn't normally grow (e.g. deserts) you'll begin to get grass in the channeled soil. This, of course, does not work if channeling down even just one z-level puts you in the stone... which is more likely than usual in a Mountain biome. Your mileage may vary accordingly.
