Crops

Crops are harvestable resources in Ashes of Creation.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Grundbesitz allow placement of farm workstations for farming crops and livestock.^[2]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[7]^[6]^[5]
- The level and types of processing stations on a freehold will affect the speed and quality of crop rotations.^[8]^[2]
Statische Behausungen allows placement of small garden sections for farming special types of crops.^[3]^[4]^[9]
Apartments allow placement of pots to grow seeds.^[10]^[4]
Public spaces in nodes allow lower-tier animal husbandry and farming activities.^[11]

There'll be different types of tools and/or machinery that can be used to plant multiple seed types within a particular infrastructure that gives you bundles and/or many different harvestings that's part of progression. So, as you get more adept at farming, you have the ability to mass produce; and the same is true when you talk about quantity, speed of processing across many of the different processing professions^[8] – Steven Sharif

Crops are grown from seeds that are obtained from vendors or in the open-world.^[12]^[2]
- Initially seeds will need to be planted individually, but the acquisition of farming tools or hired farmhands will enable more efficient methods.^[13]
Crops must be watered and fertilized until they are mature.^[14]^[12]
- Plants can be uprooted, fruited (seeded), or harvested.^[14]
There are diminishing returns from harvesting crops, where new seeds will eventually need to be reacquired from the world.^[15]
There won't be a breeding mechanic associated with crops.^[16]
Farmable crops have applications beyond basic food items.^[17]
Farmed materials can be processed into craftable materials or be converted directly into consumable items through professions such as cooking and alchemy.^[3]

Taverne zum schattenlosen Baum Pre-order Packet Kosmetik Grundbesitz Gebäude Skin.^[18]

Während viele Familien in dieser Zeit des Jahres bescheidene Zusammenkünfte veranstalten, ist der Schattenlose Baum eine uralte, ehrwürdige Einrichtung, die diese Freude an müde Reisende weitergeben möchte. Hier können Händler, Abenteurer und Bürger, die für das Fest des Grünhüters keinen Platz haben, verweilen, Geschichten austauschen, Lieder singen und Freundschaften schließen. Obwohl die Taverne ohnehin schon ein lebhafter Ort ist, wird sie während der Feierlichkeiten des Wächters besonders belebt, und viele werden aufgefordert, sich den Feierlichkeiten anzuschließen - vorausgesetzt, sie bringen die Taverne nicht zum Wanken.^[18]

Die Verdant Hüter... sind eine Sekte von Menschen, die den Überblick über all die Dinge behalten, die für eine erfolgreiche Ernte und den Anbau von Dingen notwendig sind, und die dafür sorgen, dass der Anbau dieser Dinge einer Gesellschaft oder Zivilisation das weitere Wachstum ermöglicht. Beim Übergang von Verra nach Sanctus mussten diese Menschen also neu lernen, wie man Dinge ohne Magie anbaut. Vorher gab es druidenähnliche Menschen, und jetzt müssen wir an einen Ort gehen, an dem es keine Magie gibt, um diese Dinge zu unterstützen. Also verbringen sie ihre Zeit damit, die Welt zu erforschen und sie auf wissenschaftliche Weise kennenzulernen und all diese Jahreszeiten, die verschiedenen Jahre, Jahrzehnte und Jahrhunderte zu beobachten, um eine Art Landkarte für sich selbst und für die Zivilisationen, die sie unterstützen, zu erstellen: Eine Art Instrument, um erfolgreich Getreide anzubauen und die Menschen gesund und glücklich zu halten.^[19] – Jeffrey Bard

Während die Monate kommen und gehen und die Hand des Winters sich über das Land legt, nehmen sich die Bauern von Verra Zeit, um das Glück zu feiern, das ihnen der Hüter des Grüns geschenkt hat. Herde werden angeheizt, Kerzen angezündet und duftende Köstlichkeiten zubereitet. Es findet ein großes Fest mit Essen und Trinken statt, das den Höhepunkt der harten Arbeit und der Vorbereitung auf die kommenden harten, kalten Monate markiert. Wenn die Feierlichkeiten gut verlaufen, so heißt es, wird der Hüter das nächste Frühjahr mit einer brandneuen Ernte segnen, die dann gepflückt werden kann.^[20]

Ressourcen im Unterreich

Ressourcen will be different in the Unterreich, including unique species of fish.^[21]^[22]^[23]

This will affect professions such as fishing, farming, and animal husbandry.^[21]^[23]
Since players may only have one Freehold, they must choose their Artisan specializations accordingly if they wish to place it in the Underrealm.^[23]

#REDIRECT MediaWiki:Farmhands/de

Based on node type and progression, players will be able to hire NPCs to work as farmhands on their freehold farms.^[24] Players will be able to command these farmhands in-game as well as potentially offline via an application (mobile app) or web interface.^[24]^[25]^[26]

Crop rotation management.^[24]^[25]^[26]
Plant or harvest specific crops.^[24]^[25]^[26]

Foliage

Foliage 3D renders.^[27]

Biomes really need to have a fairly eclectic selection of plant life, of vegetation, of foliage. These help to create the atmosphere that you are really immersed in this different climate zone and that that's obviously something that we as players enjoy when we get to see a significant diversity of plant life, because it does lend itself to the immersive nature of the world.^[28] – Steven Sharif

Bloomeria 3D turntable.^[29]

Foul and ravenous spirits have been bound to these stinking flowers^[29]

There will be player collision with foliage.^[30]
As you move through a plant you're not just gonna go straight through the plant. It will move around on the client for you: you'll see that plant move because you intersected with it and passed through it. So there's collision with foliage there; but I'm not sure if it's going to be as granular on blades of grass. We do have footprints and footsteps... you can see them on the dirt surfaces; you can see them on the snow surfaces.^[30] – Steven Sharif
- Different growth states will have different collision profiles.^[31]
For example as for trees, sapling stage requires no collision, but the young stage will have a collision that you can no longer go through.^[31] – Alex Khudoliy

Different seasons may unmask different types of vegetation.^[32]^[33]

Later stages of game polish will address quality-of-life issues, such as foliage blocking the player's camera.^[34]

Q: Folks were wondering about foliage as it seems like it could hide your character from your own camera. Can it do something like turn transparent to you, so you... don't lose yourself in the grass?

A: Absolutely. Those are literal higher fidelity types of polish that we get around to when we're out of guts of building core systems and abilities and archetypes. So, part of watching our game in development is understanding that a lot of the quality-of-life or polish-oriented features that you would typically see in a launched game are not yet worked on from our perspective. We're very much still on the core aspects of our feature development.^[34] – Steven Sharif
