Underground Farms

Post by Jfloyd »

Well, I'm a bit of a DF player, and I was wondering what the chances are of there being underground plants.
I for one would love it because you could then have full dwarven economies.

They would do well to introduce underground farming to culture mushrooms and other fungus. Especially if they ever wish to add alchemy or chemistry into the game.

They're not harvestable yet, and people would have to take those down with them to be their first crops ;D

And like what Rae said, it could be used for alchemy. That could make potions, which could be used to heal SHP, or re-allocate the over power con, to other stats :P

I usually use the statement "Remember, this isn't DF the MMO", myself.

Psht, DF has way more underground stuff. Plants growing in caves/dark places in natural :P

Near where I live there are quaries and mines which were later used by Heinz to grow edible mushrooms. But then you could always just say "this isn't real life".
