Farming, plant relocation, and plotting.

Hey! A lot of us have floated around ideas for starting a farm or relocating the growing plants that have already been discovered, and it's more than time to get that idea off the ground!

A few locations have been suggested in the past (the old farming plots near the temple and on the islets themselves), and some characters might have already started some small personal farms. This is a plotting and information gathering post to find out what characters are doing, where they think farms should be started, and what they have or want to contribute. Keep in mind what areas took hits during the flooding.

I don't know all the available plants, but I'll look around and try to gather what I find in a shareable doc. Would it beneficial to everyone if I also made a tab for farms and for what people want to do?

For any livestock farms, here's a link to the available beasts to help you brainstorm. The map for handy reference of locations!
Edit: Available plants doc!. Might not be completely accurate, but anyone can edit it.

SO. Gobbet has a plan. She wants to start ranching the cariborn on H6. We have found enough timber to build a shack/cottage, which I have contacted Roy's player about but additional help is welcome and needed. She will also need help caring for and milking them, since she has no idea how hard this will actually be and when she finds out that it's not as easy as "let them graze" she'll be looking for helpers anyway. She can hire people with the following promises:

- A steady supply of milk
- Assistance in searching tiles of the map (reminder that her searches yield double resources)
- Use of one of her favors for the particularly helpful (she'll ask for whatever you want, but only once)

Who wants to help build or help with caring once the building is done?

Awesome! She's going to need all the help she can get, tbh. She's in way over her head with this.

HEY. so I figured Gobbet’ll need help rounding up the animals for milking and other cow-related activities. Laurent has a great deal of experience chasing animals around on his horse, would she like a hand?

He might also suggest herding the Cariborn to a location slightly easier to get to from the temple, but maybe after we find more grassland squares. rip

That would be great! Does he know anything about the care of farm animals, per chance, because she's gonna need that too lmao

Not much, but he does know about horses? They should be similar enough to Cariborn to work, since both are four-legged herbivore animals.

also he knows a guy with chickens if you need that info

Ooh, Muffet would definitely be willing to help with both the building and the caring for them in exchange for milk. Given her magic, she'd also probably be a lot of help when it comes to rounding them up in the first place.

I don't know if we're going to do a building log or handwave the ordeal, but between Muffet, Hinata, and Roy we're going to have an actual honest to goodness cottage built in no time. I have to see if I can get Tim in on the deal, he has construction experience too.

I've been thinking of having Tataru ask for a Karakul or two for wool. If/when she does so, she'd be happy to trade helping out for field space, possibly?
