You know, I bet there are quite a few items in the game that don't technically fall under the lore of Slavic and Germanic myth and legend. It's kind of (no offense) BS that there are items that don't fit in with the lore in anyway (AKA; Snowglobes, antfarms, bar of soup, dice... I'm not going to sit here listening everything, it may take awhile.), yet are in the game; But they won't add potatoes because it 'doesn't fit the lore'.

You say you 'loosly' fit in with the Slavic and Germanic myth and legend lore, and that's fine, but as someone with a German heritage I can honestly say we Germans love our potatoes and not putting them in the game because it doesn't follow along with the lore is a bit silly XD

Yeah, but those are all silly little things added in the game because they're relatively insignificant. An entire new crop, which would become a new base part of the game, would feel out of place if it's not lore-friendly.

So i'd love potatoes to be added, but i can perfectly understand why they shouldn't/can't/won't.

Well, like others mentioned, there are other new world crops in the game like tobacco (although it was disguised under the tolkien-ish name of Pipeweed) and even though the squash/pumpkins are found elsewhere, the specific "halloween pumpkin" (winter squash) is a new world crop. Not to mention other little things...

But then here's an idea for a future world:

Generate two large landmasses separated by a big ocean. The second one would have no player spawns but all the "new world" stuff could only be found there... Exclusive biomes, crops, forageables, even creatures...
Make the ocean impossible to traverse (even with knarrs) and add a new, more expensive and time-consuming ship that is able to sail there.

Let the trade routes, colonies and the search for the new world begin

PS:
@Shubla, you were just wrong by 300 years, lol; it's actually ~500 years ago, not 200...

but m-muh artistic license

Okay, I get the argument of not wanting new world crops in the game and keeping with the germanic/slavic world theme this game inhabits. However, you have already broken this with "pipeweed" which we all know is tobacco and that hails from the Caribbean and didn't see common use in Europe until about the same time as other new world crops.

I get it, developer selection. I'm just saying like it seems others have before me..

Potatoes would be really nice to have. I know it would be complicated to add anything at this point but for real...potatoes please?

I look at field. It is empty. Potato is beautiful dream. Such is life.

Odd tubers are edible now, isn't that enough?
Why are people randomly obsessed with adding another purposeless crop?
