Reed tiles occur naturally underwater and spread like [[grass tile|grass tiles]].
[[Reed plants]] can be gathered using a [[sickle]] or [[scythe]]. Other sharp tools work too but limit the reed to 20 QL. Reed tiles can also be [[botanizing|botanized]].
If you dig on a reed tile, you create a [[dirt tile]]. All the reed tiles surrounding the digged corner will also turn into dirt tiles.
You can pack reed tiles with a shovel to convert them to packed dirt, e.g. for faster movement or for preparing them to be cultivated into dirt or paved.
==Notes==
*Gathering reed gives [[gardening]] skill.
*Reed [[field]]s do grow back over time.
*Reed seeds can now be planted in shallow water to create natural reed tiles. They require a depth of 29 dirts or less, on tiles with a slope of 20 or less.
*The following types of [[Resource nodes]] can spawn on Reed tiles: [[Seaweed]], [[Wild grasses]], [[Flotsam]], and [[Mineral debris]].
