Surface atoms represent graphical representation of each tile.
Type of Surface on specific tile is determined by set Grid atoms of its four vertices.
In the image above you can see single Surface in the cyan rhombus and its four Grid in the red rects.
- Left and bottom Grit atoms are of type soil and top and right are of type desert, so the result Surface atom is transition from soil to desert.

 === Properties in detail ===
-==== supported_subsoils ====
+==== grid ====
-*Each Grid can support multiple "subsoils".
+*Grid atom for which this Surface is representant.
-*Each subsoil is determined by single letter.
+*When all vertices of a tile has this Grid type, then this Surface is used.
-*These subsoils are then used to determine is specififc buildings is allowed to be built on a specific place.
+*It also serves as on of two transition Grids for transition tiles.
-*For example ''soil'' and ''desert'' have both type <code>G</code> (as a ''ground'') and that means that standart buildings can be built on them.
-==== surface_representant ====
+==== neighbor_grid ====
-*Sometimes you can have multiple Grid atoms which are different is some properties, but which do not influence which Surface should be used with them. For example ''soil'' without water power and ''soil'' with water power in base mod.
+*
-*In such cases is best to choose one of them as a representant because it reduces number of required surface atoms.
