Crops in The Long Night come in several different categories. Depending on your civilization, you will only be able to embark with either surface or subterranean crops, but all civilizations can grow all crops if they obtain the appropriate seeds. Note that while they are not all plants from a lore perspective, for the purposes of game mechanics they are all "plants" and are grown at standard farm plots. Surface crops only grow in Summer and Spring, while subterranean crops grow year-round.

=== Native Plants ===
 +
 +
Native plants grow naturally on the surface, having evolved for the harsh conditions of the Megastructure. They grow in moist areas of the megastructure during the warmer months, and come in two varieties: moss plants which cling to life in the rare mossy areas of the megastructure, and the silicate plants that dot wastes and voids. They can be farmed, but have little value compared to their domesticated alternatives. Their main advantage is that unlike most plants, they are frequently found growing naturally. In addition, moss herbs are the only source of tea, a special drink that provides a stimulating effect rather than the usual intoxicating effect of alcohol.

=== Farms ===
 +
Farms are a special type of "crop" that are cultivated in vats for consumption. Farm grubs, rats, and fish are animals which are raised in tiny spaces for protein, while compost fungus is a utility crop which is fed off of waste material to produce edible fruiting bodies which can then be processed into psychotropic drugs at a still. Farms are usually maintained by human operators, but in rare cases abandoned farming vats will be found in the wild with the organisms within somehow clinging to life.
 +
 +
While not the most appetizing, the majority of pan-humanity relies on vat-farmed protein to survive. Many value vat protein for its affordability compared to other more palatable food sources. Farm grubs are sometimes even ground into protein slurry and drunk as a cheap alternative to alcohol.

Factories are a special type of crop, simple machines that extract trace materials and convert them into useful resources. They come in two varieties: solar-powered factories which must be assembled on the surface, and the more advanced symbiotic factories which can be assembled underground in the relative safety of a bunker. As they are machines, none of them are edible or distillable.

Crops[edit]

Crops in The Long Night come in several different categories. Depending on your civilization, you will only be able to embark with either surface or subterranean crops, but all civilizations can grow all crops if they obtain the appropriate seeds. Note that while they are not all plants from a lore perspective, for the purposes of game mechanics they are all "plants" and are grown at standard farm plots. Surface crops only grow in Summer and Spring, while subterranean crops grow year-round.

Native plants grow naturally on the surface, having evolved for the harsh conditions of the Megastructure. They grow in moist areas of the megastructure during the warmer months, and come in two varieties: moss plants which cling to life in the rare mossy areas of the megastructure, and the silicate plants that dot wastes and voids. They can be farmed, but have little value compared to their domesticated alternatives. Their main advantage is that unlike most plants, they are frequently found growing naturally. In addition, moss herbs are the only source of tea, a special drink that provides a stimulating effect rather than the usual intoxicating effect of alcohol.
