holly! have you thought of hydroponics or utilising any of the large unused areas that nobody uses for food growth? i bet mushrooms could do well as a crop!
[Down, down, down had they been venturing.
Beyond the brighter, more orderly, and ornate likes of the Tearless city with its spires reaching high into stony "skies" overhead and bustling with lively activity upon its neatly paved floors below.
And into coarse rocky terrain, stagnant airs almost suffocatingly thick and tinged with blots of Void, and distorted colors of metal. Stained a little, maybe, from what they were otherwise meant to be. Bent and damaged in some places. Degraded over time.
And within it, the workplace where pieces of the tramways had been constructed. If all is well, then it may make constructing the Tearless city door much easier. They aren't there yet, but should be soon if that old map they had scoured from records is accurate.
They pause at the question posed. Grant it some contemplation and then press a response forth.]
/ Hydroponics...? That is a consideration. Yes.
I believe that some of the literature that my father was given... that he had been looking over prior to... everything, it spoke of it. I do recall reading upon its method. And I must say... it is a rather clever solution and potentially well-suiting given what much of the landscape it.
But, it is very involved as a process.
Equipment. Power needed. Checking the quality of the solution fed to the plant roots. Safeguarding against disease that may propagate and spread more easily in it. Cleaning parts of the equipment.
But maybe that is not quite so significant an issue any further. We now have the numbers. Some desperately seek a task to consume time. In this, the unused spaces can easily be leveraged to suit these needs. A synergy between your suggestions.
Those could indeed be promising. I have not thought about them as a crop, but it does bear some consideration.
Thank you. For the suggestions and insight given.
Food production is especially critical now albeit not just because of the greater population present, in the Tearless city and Dirtmouth because of that matter regarding the City of Steel... but because of whatever has elapsed in Kingdom's Edge. /
