New things for the farm/lake areas.

I think it would be nifty to have trees/flowers and the pumpkin vines that you can pick from,

pick pumpkin from vines
pick apple from tree

and so on... These would run out and respawn after so long. Just an idea I had whilst looking at the pumpkin vines.

I was going to add them to an untillable plot of soil, since the harvest mechanic already exists, including temporarily running out of them and the regrowth timer. I just need to code up the pumpkins.

Doing so and not being one of the Trusted would probably anger the scarecrows, though. I'm working on a mechanic to improve faction standing with the scarecrows on an individual basis, so others can eventually earn the scarecrows' trust as well.

Vines?Hop,grape etc?Wine and beer brewing?

I plan on brewing eventually (low low priority), though the vines Evelyn is referring to are pumpkin vines, and I don't know of any pumpkin brews (though if there are any, please inform me!).

I've heard of pumpkin juice, but it doesn't sound very appealing hehe.

Are the farmlands of Tarueka going to become till-able?

Post by **Rias** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 8:29 am

Probably not. The land there isn't exactly prime farming soil, what with the infestation and mold/fungus everywhere.

However, now that the wilderness is bigger, I'll be able to throw down a lot more farming areas. Guess I need to work on crops other than strawberries.

And here I thought I would channel Pyromancy and use a new PURGE command to wipe away traces of the infected...
*hint hint nudge nudge.. bribe with cookies* ?

The resident infested would promptly re-infest any such cleansed land, so that won't be an option. I'm guessing such a procedure would probably be detrimental to soil quality, anyway, but I'm no agriculturist and may be wrong.

Oh well I tried. What do you think of the idea of adding in seed maker or a drying process of which one could turn foraged materials into a few seed packs to plant in a tilled farm area?

Possibly another farming action of removing weeds, if you don't do this is will slow plant growth or even kill plants growing there?
