I started a rice farm but i think i need some suggestions, should i make the whole thing water logged (as typical rice farm?) or just the parts with rice?  Also i know from reading that this type of rice farm is easier to plant, and more scalable, however newer methods show that rice farms that are not flooded actually produce more (and usually rice farms are only flooded when planting anyway...)

So i won't do a typical rice farm, just one that is not flooded, but has been fairly recently planted (a few weeks) thus still short...

EDIT: okay here we are

Rice Farms Forever!  (actually, i think i like them ut i don't think they exactly portray a rice farm [even though they could look like this if people used improved methods of growing rice!])

Anyways, its not like corn actually has the corn showing on a real plant growing in a farm, but then in Unislash's drawins you can see the corn, and its not like hay/straw grows in rows, but it is just a field, but then it wouldn't look so much like a farm...  So i justify my rice field!

hehe

nice again. ABt the water: forget it, cause it's not blue as the water in first map, but its earth-soloured, swamp-like, brown ... u can't draw this without 3d and applets(?, not sure abt the term) i think. So the other three just work fine for me ... Nobbit

a rice pattie

These are gret planes, i actually made about 6 or 7 farms for a map set that never got quite done because of my lack of makin arches :p, but i was wondering if you want um if you do just post on here or pm me

Sure!  I'll take all the help i can get, the more Farms the merrier!

ok cool ill just get um ready and send um to ya

Two more, one small pumpkin farm (i never found pumpkin farms very scalable)  And one raspberry farm!

The smaller raspberry farm, and a flower farm for all those flowers you see in the game... now we know where they came from... (or you could pick the wild ones, but that would make too much sense to the rich, now wouldn't it?

Edit: one more for the night, a "Tall Cotton" farm (this type of cotton is a bit taller than its normally harvested cousin)

http://screamingflower.dontexist.org/daimonin/media/graphic/temp/farm22.png

After this cotton farm i am about out of different farm types, and will make some more vegetable farms, and some corn farms (when the corn arches get committed).  Its not so much that i don't have any new ideas, but i am running out of arches that look sort of like crops of different types.

Anyways, i think i can probably get to about 35-40 with the current situation.  Maybe someone could draw some more crops? (will probably need about 20 more different plants).

If i have to do it i will, but i really don't know arch files well enough to make arches out of them.

The larger version of the Tall Cotton farm.

I'll take this time to hint that it would be great if someone wanted to make one of the 4 mage towers in the city (one in the center being the Watch Mage Tower [official city owned tower]).  That one being the largest is about 48 tiles in diameter, and the other 3 are about 30-35 tiles in diameter.  They can be as tall as that person would want to make them, and preferably go very deep into the ground, with a dungeon below them.

Lettuce Farm and a Strawberry farm!

Woot, 20% there!  (kinda)

I looked at the maps generated yesterday.  Two things occurred to me.  First, that they were bigger (the farm sizes on the maps, not the farms that i have created) than they were suppose to be, and second that there were fewer of them than i first estimated (hence the estimate, and now the count).

So heres the deal: there are 222 smaller farms and 92 larger farms.  Divide by 3 and that comes to 31 templates and 74 templates (rounding up) which is 105, and not 125.  I'll still make the 125 (as it will be using less templates).  Thats the good news, heres the bad news.  I checked and double checked the pixels by counting them and theres no getting around it, i made the farms (accidentally) 80x80 and 40x40 somehow in gimp instead of 20x20 and 40x40.  So the spaces to fill for each farm is roughly 4 times the size of the farms i am making.  I actually look at this as a good thing, because i was thinking that some of these farms are a bit small (in land size) for the number of inhabitants and creatures on them.  So all is not lost!  When i put them onto the main maps, it will look even less like templates, because only 1/4 of each farm will actually be a template, and the other (although this being the fairly nondescript part of the farm) 3/4 will be made on the spot, on a per farm basis.  So anyways, its mixed news, but its for the better!

Potato and Dairy Farm.  Way to go complete protein farms! (mashed potatoes made with milk support a completely sustainable diet with every nutrient theoretically needed, except only not quite THAT good...)

Anyways i was overdue for an update, so thought i might make another map, and more to come!!!

wow keep up the good work! i dont know much about maps but it looks very good and full to me

Thanks Missy Subaru! =)

Another one tonight as well, a chicken farm, more of an open air one.  Something people don't know about chickens is that they like to perch.  So being that its an open air farm, it must have trees to perch in, and of course a few cats to attack anything trying to get at the chickens (although they would be fairly ineffective if something REALLY wanted to get those chickens, the scent is usually enough.  Besides, they double as mouse patrol/control)

:: dances :: 21.6%!  At 50% i'll start putting these into the actual maps, and i am SO looking forward to that.

very nice again, planes. i have a suggestion for another one: a forlone farm ... u know, peeps sometimes stop doing agriculture and going to be a worker or whatever ... just a thought (that might save u some detail-work )

Good job TPK ... I was a bit skeptical at first, but is starting to look good!  Keep it up ... when I've finished my current project I'll chip in some stuff for you.

I'll probably add some more today, but here is the first

Horse farm/pasture.  With a very large family...

Anyway, enjoy as always, and i will keep making maps!

EDIT: two more here
