I walk around in biodegradable clothes covered from head to toe in pockets filled with native seed balls, so that when I inevitably die from heatstroke within the next five years, the pockets will eventually degrade and spill out hundreds of seeds to sprout and feed upon my decaying corpse. Call that kamikaze gardening
So you are like gurillia utaru? I’m down for that.
Hopefully you have a lot of super drought and heat resistant species that are also somehow magically hardy in climates that get winter, because the extremes are getting more extreme.
I’m legitimately so glad CRISPR is in the hands of pretty much everyone, and that kids are (and have been for many years) designing next-gen bioengineered 4H agriculture and farming projects, because they definitely have the vision to produce what we need and they don’t know they can’t do it (like we think we do) so they can!
Sorry, who is "gurillia utaru"?
Wasn’t sure if that reference would hit, my bad. The utaru are a society of people in horizon forbidden west who are super in tune with the lands around them.
They each carry a seed pouch with them throughout their lives, and add seeds that are meaningful to them.
Upon death, when the seed pouch can be recovered, it’s planted in the sacred grove and tended as a memorial.
Guerrilla just refers to them being planted wherever instead of being brought home, like guerrilla gardening (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_gardening)
I’m realizing now that’s a lot of really niche references I took for granted, that’s totally my bad.
That's some nice worldbuilding, honestly.
It’s a really really amazingly done game. The world changes around you as to complete major side objectives. They spent a ton of time on the story, and it shows.
