Cattail Reeds

[Antichrist_Online]

How about adding cattails to the swamp area. Unprocessed they could be useless but using a stone table and knife they could be converted into Cattail fibres, roots and stems. The stems can be eaten raw similar to rice, the roots can be made into bread (like bread duh!) and the fibres can be woven into a cloth. This would give the swamps economic purpose instead of just being a place to pass though or not to go to.

Unless I'm much mistaken, one project can produce only one product.

I would say that your cattail production numbers are too efficient, also.

The efficency is based on the real values for the actual reeds (the only plant that we can use 100% of with no wastage.) but could be adjusted if ineffiency is needed.
Wouldn't producing muliple outcomes just be reversing the code that means projects require lots?

Another case of talking about programming without knowing about it. Now I will do the same, from a more experienced perspective (I hope).
Cantr is a database-based game. This is why the Resources Deparment can create new tools vehicles, etc. without any programming. But the framework for a project is
([list of resources in] [tools required] [resource out])
Or something along those lines. So allowing multiple resources out would require that the game code be changed, which means the programming department, which doesn't get new things done quickly (not enough of them) is involved.

And I would note that I don't think "Reversing the code" for anything is easy. Ever.

My problem wasn't that you produce the same weight out as in...your cattail business means that, with a few simple implements (and a building) one person can, at the same time:
-feed themselves (with surplus)
-produce material for clothmaking and baking

Using just one resource. That seems an excess of power to put into one plant.

Hunting gives multiple resources out. It's not a project but it does. How's that so different?

i think you just answered your own question. it's not a project.

Make these cattail reeds huntable then. You swing at them with your sabre and get the results in your inventory.. oh wait, that was the evaluation project, not picking up.. Difficult. Well, those sound like über plants anyway.

343:6 You attack a cattail using a sabre, who looses 33 percent strength.

It's which, not who. Unless you name a character "a cattail"

Using which has always confused me since it sounds like it refers to the weapon. At first I thought the weapon suffered from the attack and was going to break eventually but no, it was the target.
