This is a more elaborate post about compost. In future upcoming Build 26, we will be able to use Rotten Food to make recipes. Well, why not introduce Compost in a future update? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compost I've given it some thoughts. Here's how I'd do it. Requirements: - Carpentry lvl1 (to make the compost box) - Farming lvl2 (noob farmers don't know what compost is, so you'd read up on it in skill books) - A Spade (to stir up the compost) - Any water container (to periodically add water before stirring) - A Bucket (to pick up and drop compost) - and of course, Rotten Food So, you build up your compost box back in your farm. You put your stack of rotten food inside. Add some water, stir it up with a Spade. Then you wait and come back the next day and stir it again with your Spade. I imagine a fancy infobox displaying the humidity level inside the compost box, so you'd know if it's time to add some water or not. After around 1-2 weeks of wating and stirring, the Rotten Food inside the compost would merge into 1 item, Compost. Depending on how much you checked up on it, it would have differently level of power (dry compost, compost, rich compost). Then you take a Bucket, pick up the compost from the box and sprinkle it over your crops like fertilizer. It wouldn't be as powerful as the NPK Fertilizer but you'd still see a noticable growth rate. I'm sure all of y'all farmers would like this idea. Discuss.
