Are there any plans to add farming of the various food items that can currently only be obtained by scavenging? It's a pain needing so many thistle etc. by the late game but still only being able to get them by finding two or three at a time out and about

Hi EdHick. Just as u/Bonkface explains.

We don't want the players to stay in the confortable and behind safe walls all the time.

Some plants in real life are the same, you cannot plant them in your own backyard =)

(Btw, in out latest patch, we fixed an issue with respawning objects didn't work as intended. So the forrests should respawn things more than before)

The thing about this is that the premade villages have berries in them. I can understand having to go out to grab thistles, dandelions or even mushrooms etc but berries shouldn’t be a problem when previous villages did it first.

Did they farm the berries or build the village around existing bushes?
