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.

The elves are too lazy not built for physical work but they wanna get in on these efforts too. They can create all kinds of gardening tools, rakes, shovels, buckets and baskets, wheel barrows etc to your specifications (mainly from wood and stone right now, until we get access to those ores in the caves). They can create planks from trees for like, fences, sheds, barrels and so on. Basically you bring the raw materials and they'll turn them into whatever you need, for a price. You can hit up the store post for specific trades, or just contact us to handwave stuff.

Taako can levitate things, if you need something very heavy moved? But that's one of his three daily spell slots so that wouldn't be cheap. I guess fire isn't really useful for farming, so Lup won't be as helpful in this case.

They can also cook awesome creative meals out of your ingredients, substituting stuff you don't have with magic! And they can help with preserving food, they can cure and smoke meat and freeze things. Possibly they could look into making a communal refrigerator, which would be a huge stone box filled with ice that Taako refreezes once a day, lmao.

Hey you nerds so if a child were to, by chance, start supplying them with a pretty consistent source of clay... would they be interested in perhaps supplying them with some more gardening tools?

More specifically Chara's super keen on not along getting some buckets, shovels and rakes, but some actual plant pots or troughs they can pop out the front of their shack for anything delicate they're attempting to nurture.

On top of this they're pretty plant literate so they'd be happy to find veggies and herbs for them, and can easily be taught to identify any plants they aren't familiar with, too.

Hey you dork that sounds like a good deal! Clay pots/troughs/whatever other shapes they want and gardening tools will be easy, so I think a steady supply of those herbs from the mountain plus any extra clay would be fair payment.

Nice nice nice consider it done, then! We'll handwave some stuff and I'll shoot a message through to Taako's trading post
