Where are the farms!

[Pyronous Rath]

What do people subsist on in this world I have yet to see a farm on the croplands or a cow or a deer. What the hell are we eating?!?!?!? Is that where all the good grass went?

I imagine there are serfs toiling in the fields and hauling it to the town people, all of is so beneath our exalted staus to even see...

Deer? Who eats deer? Wolves are where the good meat is at!

I wonder what kind of wine goes good with crow...

Player-run Farms and Lumberyards will be POIs, I think.

The explanation given by the developers is that when we enter the world, we only see ourselves, the elite adventurers, gatherers, and craft foremen. In the background, there is a multitude of 'small folk' keeping our settlements running (manning the auction house, doing the actual crafting, etc).

These small folk will be more noticeable, though still invisible and abstracted, when the War of Towers ends and settlements start dealing with Development Indices. One of the resources is Bulk Food used to feed them and grow the population.

Wheat and maize are both grasses, and we all know about the grass in PFO...

I don't need a farm - it is the Outhouse I'm missing. And it starts to become urgent.

There's a great big green outhouse in your backyard- what are you talking about?

They are probably part of an anarcho-syndicalist commune who take it in turns to be a sort of executive officer for the week...
