A Dirt-y Job or Three

So.... we have community gardens now... 

How about a community Dirt Pit? Maybe it's a different type of patch that nothing grows in, or maybe it's a message that says 'there is not enough light for things to grow here' when you try to plant in it. Maybe we get a new powder that causes erosion and makes the dirt refill faster.

How about Community Pens? The room could hold a certain number of player contributed pigs that can be fed... and plopped (or squeezed). Maybe it has a mesh floor the plop falls through (hole in the floor style... *use* that bug, dude) making for easier collection. Perhaps while you're in there you lose mood and/or energy Wintry Place style because of the stench.

And finally.... I still want a Composting Facility... either as a machine or a community place. Organics + Dirt + Plop + Water + Work = Compost. Perhaps the compost is something you add to the gardens for a higher/faster crop yield.

    Seriously they should pay you for these ideas.

  • Nah, I'm just glad to have a place to post ideas. I'd really love to see more community facilities and community efforts and have been thinking about the 'tools' that would make it easier.

  • Bumping this. I also had the burning desire to compost when tending my garden this test. All that piggy plop and messy leftovers from harvesting. I think it would be great to have brown gold for use in our yards as well as community bins.

  • +1 for the compost. I'm not sure if I'm fond of the community pens. There are already issues with the amount of pigs/chickens in certain areas that I think there would be other issues that came up with community pens if they were implemented. Additionally, community dirt doesn't seem entirely necessary at this point in the game.

    While on the topic of gardening,I would really like some parsnip seeds! =)

    +1 for the Dirt Pit,or maybe we could have a quarry? Perhaps we could use dynamite on rough patches instead of shovels? Hardware vendors could sell dynamite and sturdy crates to hold all that soil,loam,rock etc.
