Aquatic Farmhouse
Aquatic Farmhouses are in the Food (Building Group). They employ
farmers to plant and harvest aquatic crops. These are specific to the
Folktails. They are
Cattail and
Spadderdock
Crops.
Usage
Although they plant and harvest crops in water, Aquatic Farmhouses must be placed above water. Workers do not work in a Flooded building. You can construct the building next to a wet area, or above a wet location such as a flooded area, a lake, or a river.
Wooden Stairs,
Slopes, or
Ziplines must be available for the farmers to descend into the water to work.
Crops
These crops' yields are inedible Ingredients requiring processing to produce
Food.
Spadderdock is processed by
Grills. Grills require a small but steady supply of Logs. One spadderdock produces three
Grilled Spadderdocks.
Cattail Roots are ground into
Cattail Flour in
Gristmills before being baked. Gristmills require
Power to run, and
Gears to construct. One root results in one flour. The flour is baked into
Cattail Crackers in
Bakeries, with one cattail flour producing four cattail crackers. Like all baked goods,
Logs are consumed while baking. This is a lot of infrastructure and research, but sometimes implementing badtide management is also a lot of infrastructure. Once that is in place, the colony might be close to ready for this production chain. The reward is a lot of crackers for low-intensity farming.
