Also check out: NUF Restaurant & Inn NUF Community Garden + INTRODUCTION + NUF Community Garden is a role-playing mini-game about maintaining a farm/garden. Feel free to borrow tools, plant whatever you want, and have fun! This RPG is part of the same universe as ( NUF Restaurant & Bar ), and your inventory/money is shared. Produce grown on the farm can be used in the restaurant, or it can be sold to any customer willing to buy it. ~ ~ ~ + HOW TO BE FARMER + Anyone can join and become a farmer. Just post in the thread and you can get started! All new staff start out with $20 (USD). You should use this money to go buy some seeds online. Some websites that are good for referencing prices: Seeds: Burpee.com, Seedsavers.org Miscellaneous: Amazon, ebay, Overstock.com Note: You don't have to be exact about prices; approximate is good enough! Note: Feel free to convert USD to a different currency or browse your own preferred shops Once you have purchased seeds, you can plant them! The NUF Community Garden has a magic greenhouse, so you can plant any crop at any time of the year! The farm owns a few common tools (see below), but you may need to buy your own tools if you want something fancy. You can also ask some other players if you can borrow their tools or seeds. You should look up how many "days" it takes to grow your plant. Every post, you can "water" one plant and make it grow faster by one day. The farm has magical water that accelerates the growth of plants, and you can "water" them as much as you like. Do not double post. Plants will die if you leave them unattended for 3 days. Each garden plot is approximately 3 square meters (43 square feet: 4 x 10). You should use your best judgement about how many crops can be harvested from a single plot. You do not have to use all of your seeds in a single planting. A single bag of seeds can often be used multiple times. Finally, when a plant is finished growing, harvest it and store it in your magical shop inventory. Since this is a community garden, there aren't really plot "owners." However, it is rude to harvest someone else's crop without asking them first, so be polite before taking someone else's hard work! It is nice to share the produce if a lot of people worked together. Now you have to sell it to a customer! I recommend posting your shop inventory at the end of all your posts. Don't forget to list a price and quantity for that item! Advertise the best you can! Chefs at the NUF Restaurant are often willing to buy fresh produce! As you play the game, you should keep track of your finances. If you wish to transfer your money between the Restaurant and the Garden, that is fine too! ~ ~ ~ + HOW TO BE A CUSTOMER + Being a customer is super easy! If you spot something that you like, tag the user to buy it. Customers have unlimited money so don't be afraid to buy! That said, roleplaying is nice, so don't buy things that are total ripoffs. Try to see yourself as a typical person visiting a farmer's market, and most people have a normal budget! Players can switch between acting as "Staff" and "Customers", but you cannot buy your own store items. ~ ~ ~ + HOW TO GET LIVESTOCK + If you have enough money, you can buy livestock. Look for a website that sells livestock. Before getting livestock, make sure you have bought or built the pen necessary to keep it. Make sure you feed livestock regularly. Livestock that has not eaten in 7 days will die. ~ ~ ~ + COMMON TOOLS & EQUIPMENT + Shovel Watering Can Wheel-barrel Garden Rake Leaf Rake Hose Digging Fork Weeder Garden Scissors Soil Knife Hand Trowel Garden Spade Pruning Shears Pruning Saw Gloves Bucket(s) Lawn Mower
