Farm Concepts
Added 2019-06-17 16:40:16 +0000 UTCVisual development to get my head around how birrin agriculture might work in the river valley.

References were halophyte farms, rice paddies, and the sap sucking bugs that produce sugary rewards for ants that feed them.

2019-06-19 05:50:10 +0000 UTCI like that there are more than one kind of halophyte plants. The top left one looks like it has some sort of underwater tubers. Are the Birrin carnivores or omnivores, I don't remember which it is.

2019-06-17 18:22:30 +0000 UTCThe design of the farm is still in flux but I love flood-farming and want to combine it with halophyte agriculture

2019-06-17 17:12:34 +0000 UTCPractically realistic with logical pieces, yet completely alien looking. I like it!👍 You could drive by it on a dirt road in the countryside and you wouldn’t even think it wasn’t human built. And it doesn’t even have colour or detail!
