Details on growing

- seeds can only be planted in dirt in your house or basement (create dirt by using a renovation wand on a tile)
- use a seed/spore to plant it
- use a bucket on well to create water, as with cooking, and use the water on the seed/plant to water it
- most plants grow outdoors (ie a map in which the sun shines) but mushrooms, blood moss and ginseng must be grown underground (ie a basement)
- plants need to be watered every ingame-day in order to grow - plants will die of not being watered in about 14 real-life days
- plants will die of old age - usually around 30 real-life days but this varies
- plants generally have a number of stages - seed->sprout->youngplant->mature plant->harvestable plant etc but this depends on the species
- to harvest a plant, activate with a-dir
- to destroy a plant, use a hoe on it
- there is no olive press or mill yet so olives are for eating and wheat is for stockpiling
