Vegetable
Basic
- Vegetables refer to the various edible plants which can be grown and harvested from seeds.
- Most vegetables can be grilled in a Firepit or cooked in a Kitchen; most have other uses as well.
- Egypt has access to five standard vegetables -- Cabbage, Carrots, Garlic, Leeks, and Onions -- the seeds of which are available to paid accounts from Universities of Worship where the Agriculture tech is open, and your Faction is in control of the UWor.
- Beginning with T7, when you request vegetables from the UWor, you will be given a total of 6 seeds from 2 strains of the same vegetable. The mix could be 1/5, 2/4 or 3/3.
- Other vegetables such as Peppers, Cucumbers, Watermelon and Eggplant *may* be received from events.
How To Grow
All vegetables are grown from Vegetable Seeds. Vegetables can only be planted in the proper terrain:
- grass for cabbages and carrots
- sand for garlic, leeks and onions, (pre-T8 Eggplants)
- and dirt for peppers (pre-T8)
All five standard vegetables are grown in the same way. Planting a seed produces a tiny vegetable; this must be watered from a jug quickly or it will die back into a seed. A vegetable that has been watered will soon grow to the next larger size, at which time it should be watered again or it will shrink. When a vegetable reaches maximum size, it may be harvested. Original vegetable seeds must grow four times before they can be harvested, which means at least four waterings (more if they shrink on the way). Crossbred seeds vary on waterings. To sum up: Water upon planting (the required # of times), then repeat each time the vegetable changes size. Overwatering (watering more then the vegetable strain requires) will result in it shrinking/dying and eventually reverting to seed (except Peppers, pre-T8).
Reproduction
We don't know yet how to reproduce seeds in T8. In T7 most vegetables appeared to seed in waves that pass through Egypt in the -X direction.

Seeds
Tl;dr: Cucumbers produce seeds when grown near an invisible PapyrusGenerator object. How close they have to be to the generator, is dependent on the Genome of the seed.
Below, find the exact conversation had with Malard where this was determined - I was hoping to get these transcribed, but that never happened, so better to have the raws than nothing.

General Observations
Ecology
In T7 Morendo verified (using Ecology 3) that growing vegetables affects the ground water level. This can reduce your ground water level to the point that neither vegetables nor flax will grow. Ground water depletion affects a larger area (need data here) around where you were growing your vegetables. To avoid groundwater depletion, you should rotate your vegetable growing to sites that are far enough apart (need data here) that they don't contribute to further depletion in areas that need to recover. Given sufficient time (need data here), the groundwater appears to move back towards normal levels (100).
This needs to be verified for T8.
