There's topsoil on top of bedrock which is then on top of the scrith. Not
sure of the dimensions of the depth of the ring - will need to check that.

Subject: [RingworldRPG] Journey of the Catseye scenario

> But isn't the landscape on the Ringworld moulded in? The diagram on

> Hmmmm. pity, because this was a nice dilemma to face the players with.
