Farming, plant relocation, and plotting.

[thisisourfuture]

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.

Tataru has two major plans at this point, one that I want to pull together soon and one more long-term.

For the immediate future, she'd like to see what plants can be rescued from the flooding and transplanted to safer locations in the islets. Farms, gardens, that sort of thing. Due to the flooding, there's probably a chance some (many?) of the transplants will fail but better late than never, and it's at least worth a try. Ideally, this'd be a decently large effort with as many people as possible, so please let me know if your character would be interested! You don't need to worry about how your character hears about it, Tataru will be talking to everyone.

Longer term, Tataru wants to set up a small farm near her cottage, specifically for plants that produce raw fibers and dyes. This includes coconut trees, cotton, flax, etc. I'd say hemp too but the raw plant for hemp is actually marijuana so uh. probably not unless we want to use the FFXIV alternative raw plant of Moko Grass. Also maybe she'll ask the Storyteller for a Karakul sometime.

She may also be happy to extend this garden to useful herbs and plants for medicines and spices but she's got her job and priority right now.

Consider Sans down for collecting plants. I figure it'll be good practice trying to get the hang of this gardening thing, and if it fails, well. No big, right?

Also because Tataru's cute and I love FFXIV... :(

Chara would be happy to assist in both things! They'd be happy to use their packpack to try and transfer some plants to a safer location, as well as attempt to keep them alive with some trial and error (most of their plant knowledge is based on flowers/flowering plantation, but they do have some knowledge about vegetables).

If they know precisely what to look for, they'd also be happy to help arrange a proper crop of the plants she needs for textile production. She may need to assist them in learning to identify these plants, but once they know, they'd be happy to search them out. Additionally, if she describes a Karakul to them they'll attempt to request one after this month's storytelling.

Hinata will throw his lot in with her to help rescue plants. He's no warrior of light but he tries his best!
