| May 29 at 5:11 | comment | added | Mazura | Resources such as [clean] water, soil and sunlight [and electricity] are easily accessible to the point of being effectively unlimited. - You recycle your sewage? Then we're done here; you can do w/e you want, however you want. But, FTL ruins everything as usual; you'd plant some stuff, take a two hour car ride, then come back and eat it. - The question boils down to what would be really cool to grow more of but we just can't. IDK, I want for nothing. More cheese?... if you can make it so sharp that I have to swallow my own face along with it, then I'll give you, or do, w/e you want for it. | |

It's up to you as the author to decide what they choose to do given that they could whip up nutrient-complete meal replacement pills that taste like anything you like. Anyone doing agriculture is going to be a bit eccentric. | |

| May 28 at 15:02 | comment | added | JBH | @FrossD For future reference, please note that (a) the help center has a Book Rule that basically states if your question is too broad it's prohibited and (b) asking more than one question (1. growing methods, 2. technologies used, 3. selected crops) is literally a reason to close questions (click "Close" and read Needs More Focus). It's a common mistake to believe Stack Exchange is a good place for brainstorming. It isn't. It's intentionally designed for users to seek help solving one specific problem at a time. | |
| May 28 at 14:43 | comment | added | John O | If one could manipulate plant stem cells, one could grow fruits with a nutrient brew, no photosynthesis even needed. You could, for instance, grow raspberries in gigantic sheets instead of their "ball-with-a-deep-dimple" shape, and use them to wrap birthday cakes. Lots of weird stuff's possible, if you don't give a shit about efficiency. If you do, you plant a seed in the ground and let the sun and rain take over. | |

| May 28 at 13:45 | comment | added | FrossD | @Bubbles Arcologies are generally wholly self-sufficient, however, differences between them exist such that slacks in production for one is made up for by another, and the production of one hypothetical agricultural good in one arcology might not be done elsewhere. Generally, each arcology produces enough for it to function, but relies on the input of others to be maximally comfortable, through both options and an abundance of those options. | |
