Because of the upcoming release of the cook, I thought this might be a worthy topic. Perhaps in the future we could have unlockable crops? Let me explain. Let’s say, you wanted to grow grapes. But your farmers can’t plant that! However, if you found a wild grape plant and harvested it, you would be able to grow grapes from then on forward. Speaking of grapes, here are some fruit crops you could grow on normal farmer plots:
- Grapes
- Tomatoes
- Watermelon
- Raspberries
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Pineapple
Perhaps we could also have food that could only grow in specific environments? For example, coconuts and such could only be grown in tropical areas, etc., etc. Also, some plants, such as grapes, would require your carpenter to make pikes for! (Also, we need salt and pepper!)
Now, just for the fun of it, I’ll make descriptions for all the crops I just named off!
Grapes- After the plant itself is done growing, a fast growing crop. Decently satisfying, but rots somewhat quickly.
We should hire a brewer soon!
Tomatoes- After the plant itself is done growing, a fast-ish crop. Hearthlings flat-out refuse to eat them, unless there is nothing else around, or the cook prepares them in some way. Rot at a slow-ish rate.
Salt it. Then, we can talk about it’s edibility!
Watermelon- Grows at a slow rate. Inedible, unless your cook cuts them, which allows for their consumption. When cut, they are cut into multiple servings. Rots slowly when uncut, and at a medium rate when cut.
Perfect for a break after a long, sweltering summer day.
Raspberries- After the bush is done growing, it’s like berries in a lot of ways, except they are somewhat tastier, especially when sweetened. rots quickly. Useful in some baker recipes.
Ya know, I thought it was gonna be some-what new, when you said "New crop!"
Blueberries- After the bush is done growing, it’s like berries in every virtually every aspect, but hearthlings get upset about them quicker. Rot at a medium rate. Useful in some recipes.
Just put it in a fruit salad!
Strawberries-After the bush is finished, a medium-rate growing crop, but is sweeter than any other berry, and goes well with other stuff. Rots quickly.
Yammy, yammy!
Pineapple-Like the watermelon in the sense it has to be prepared, but it only serves one hearthling. Useful in an extensive amount of recipes. Rots slowly when unprepared, quickly when prepared. Grows exclusively in tropical climates. Poisonous when eaten unripe.
No sponges here.
That’s all for now folks, next time we’ll be talking about herbs!
at the moment there is a substring in the simplecaravan for this xD
