− | + | A '''farm''' is a building that allows dwarves to [[grow]] [[plant]]s from [[seed]] as a method to produce [[food]] and [[alcohol]] for a fortress. Farms can either be built [[outside]] on the surface (ontop of [[soil]]) or [[inside]] on [[mud|muddied]] ground. Depending where you can build your farm decides what [[plants]] you can grow there. | |
− | + | In large fortresses, a farm is the most compact way of producing food. Early forts can get by with [[herbalist]]s collecting plants from [[bush]]es outside, but this is an inefficient use of space and travel time. Setting up a subterranean farm requires muddy tiles and a [[farmer]], but creating muddy tiles requires an essay and a degree in [[mechanics|mechanical engineering]] and [[water|fluid dynamics]] to [[irrigation|irrigate]] your fields. | |
− | + | Farms set up outside can conviniently grow plants collected from outside such as; [[prickle berries]], [[rat weed]], [[longland grass]], [[strawberries]] ''(mmm)'', and [[whip wine]]. There may be [[plants|others]]. | |
