[A15/A16] Where is rich soil?

DO NOT UPDATE

UPDATE

Endoric: I just tried to go through the whole process to setup a account to upload mods. I have no clue how to upload it. The code below works though for B18.

if someone here claims to have fixed it for 18 just upload it to the workshop and include credit and a link to here.

B18 update coming anytime soon?

Woot!
Thanks for the feedback ZeProfessional, this (albeit minor) success makes me want to learn more haha.

@k1LLz0Rz

Your recent fix seems to be working so far with no problems. Will update if any arise cause I have no clue what I'm doing otherwise. Thanks!

@ebonite & Blaze

First off, thank you for giving enough info that I'm pretty sure I was able to figure this out!
I'm just learning how to tinker with XML files / just getting into modding, and want to learn properly.
Would one of you cats (or anyone else with experience / skill in this area) mind telling me if this edit looks right in order to get this working with B18?

@Reaper & Enlon

Assuming I've figured this out properly, the directory you're looking for to edit the XML file (at least on my current setup) is roughly as follows -

C:>Program Files> Steam>steamapps>workshop>content>294100>783475829>Defs>TerrainDefs

Then right click on the XML file and tell it to "Open With" Notepad, so you can edit things!

So, TerrainDefs and /TerrainDefs to Defs and /Defs

EdgeType
RenderPrecedence
PathCost
TerrainFilthDef
Fertility
TakeFootprints

all have the FIRST character changed to lower case. Remeber to get BOTH instances of the above items (on either side of the data)

<EdgeType>FadeRough</EdgeType>

becomes

<edgeType>FadeRough</edgeType>
