I am Ferral Aquillian. I am nolthrir and i want to see water based farms. At present most food in yliakum is cooked. As a nolthrir, i cannot eat cooked food, my usual food is raw seaweed, fish, or a specially farmed sea algae. None of this is within the food sources of the other races of yliakum. If you are really intent on putting farms into the game, there has to be the option of nolthrir farms.
Specifics for nolthrir farms are as follows. No need for fences, this is under water so farming is not as you would attempt on land. The basis of a Nolthrir farm is terrain. A rocky area would be an ideal place for seaweeds to grow. They need rocky areas to make sure they are anchored against a strong current. Even then storms can detach some and wash ashore, although most of it will remain. Fish usually have a home area. Some prefer to live where there is coral, while others live close to or even within areas of seaweed. algae will most likely be farmed closer to shore, further out into the water will most likely break up the mass of algae and disperse it rather than allow it to stay in a cloud. If the algae is in a small water based area, it will remain with little more than a surface based retaining system, like a floating string like barrier, or in an area that is surrounded by seaweed that reaches the surface and is not easily detached from its base of rocks, on a fertile, muddy bottom.
As a Nolthrir farm is not like a land based farm, there is no real need to harvest. Food is not collected and stored ready to be processed at a later date, Nolthrir eat their food fresh, raw, and thus unprocessed. Nolthrir food will not have large fish like carp, trout or even bigger fish. The fish that live close to corals tend to be small, same goes for fish living close to, or in, seaweed.
