Worm Farm

[Drakemoore]

I would really love to see a way to gather worms, or farm them in small numbers in a balanced way, you know, without having to terraform in order to acquire them. So what I would like to do is to be able to mimic real life and have an actual mechanic in the game for farming earthworms. In real life you can build worm bins that are sort of like compost bins, you fill them up with materials like news paper, leaves, and then compost material in layers, and then you colonize the worm bin with worms. The worms increase in population as long as they're watered, fed and cared for.



In HnH2 we could make it so that you could make a compost bin, or worm bin out of wood and you would need to fill it up with water, straw, and some sort of food or refuse. You would also need to add a certain quantity of worms to it to colonize it, and every so often you could harvest a bunch from it. Think of a big crate with dirt and animated worms wiggling around the top of it when it's ready. Maybe even be able to create soil in very small amounts this way via worm compost? I don't know, just some ideas.

In any case it's just an idea, alternatively we could just have the option to 'forage' on tile and get worms rarely that way without picking up dirt.

Would like this better than the worm/tuber digging bot.

Yeah.. Right now I have excess worms due to having terraforming projects, but once that's done, I really don't want to have to deal with the soil / terraforming issue.

Compost should be a thing.

I am not sure I like the idea of a compost bin to improve soil.
I like the current, simple farming. I would like it even more if there was just one quality to things.
A compost bin would just add another chore. (I love the concept of worm farming though).
