No Underground Crops
« on: November 24, 2007, 06:07:00 pm »

If I am on a map where I cannot choose to start with any seeds, and the Dwarven caravan doesn't bring any seeds/spawn, is there any way that I can acquire underground crops?

If you have a cave river or cave pool, they might grow.  I'm not sure.

But where are you that you can't get seeds.  You should always be able to get seeds.

Well, I can get seeds to aboveground crops from the vegetation. There are trees.

I have forgotten what the biome is, but it seems to be temperate. I put it in a semi mountain area, the saddle/valley between two mountains with a brook running down the middle. I haven't found a "cave" yet. There is soil on just about all Z levels of the map.

Also, there are kobolds, goblins, dwarves, elves and humans in the greater area.

Sometimes the Dwarven civilization is so small that, for some reason, they have no plants available. Not even Tower Caps (the wagon ends up being made of mangrove wood) So if you are from that civ, you don't get to choose anything made from plants, including beer. Try settling on a glacier with THAT!
