Farming[edit]

Can silver barb only be grown in evil biomes? Or once you get the seeds you can grown them in any? Aristoi 17:26, 13 January 2009 (EST)

I've never actually encountered them, but from what I can tell, you can't obtain the seeds anywhere but an evil biome. I imagine, though, that if you somehow managed to get seeds somewhere else, they would very probably grow just fine. --Smartmo 15:02, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

I went through the rigamarole of gathering sliver barbs, brewing them into gutter cruor, abandoning that fortress, visiting with an adventurer, grabbing a few dozen seeds, traveling to a fortress in a good biome, dropping them off, and reclaiming the good fortress. The good fortress now has sliver barb seeds, but the option to plant them is still not available. So... apparently not. --Malimar (talk) 22:33, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Friendly civs don't spawn?[edit]

Is it still true that friendly civs can never get materials from evil biomes? I recently saw a human caravan carrying goods made of glumprong, so either they spawned there, or they traded with someone who did.
