Summary0006398: Bugged biome savefile
DescriptionEmbarked in an area with mountain biome and ocean biome. Dug out the soil layers in the ocean biome, then breached the caves. No plants grew. So I breached all 3 caves, still no plants. Thought maybe that the red sand layer was bugged, so I dug deeper into the clay; didn't help. Saving and re-loading didn't help. Then tried to abandon the fort and reclaim, and all the dug out soil was flooded with the ocean (the ocean was not breached, and it was frozen even if there was a breach) I know there is vegetation in the caves, it just isn't spreading.

The flooding issue on reclaim is a duplicate of 0005872, and using a 3rd-party utility to forcibly embark on all ocean tiles may be confusing the game into preventing subterranean plant growth.

It wasn't all ocean. The embark was 3x6 and 8 tiles were mountain terrain. I don't know if the Embark anywhere was an issue, because I always have it on and don't know if I could have settled there without it. (Though I doubt it, DF seems to be really finicky about ocean squares. It's possible to have only 1 ocean swuare in your embark and DF won't allow you there without the mod)

The criteria for allowing embark is that at least one tile must be non-ocean and non-mountain.
