      Thanks! I’d prefer more stable income that doesn’t kill my body for being broken, but this will do in a pinch. I can work on stuff when I’m feeling well, and nobody judges me when nothing gets done as long as I take care of my animals. And who knows maybe I’ll end up with enough surplus to sell to neighbors or something! There’s a year round farmers market near me that moves indoors over winter; surplus/preserved goods could easily be sold there or something similar.

      As for Minecraft, I tried it many years ago, and granted my pc at the time could barely run it, but that super open sandbox stuff isn’t really for me; I’m not a particularly creative person in the way that game needs.

      Stuff like rimworld and oxygen not included is more up my alley. Sandboxy but considerably more goal-oriented base building/exploring, with clear progression.

        There’s something more rewarding about growing your own food, knowing what was used and how it was taken care of gives better piece of mind too. I haven’t dabbled in husbandry but I’m a horticulturalist so I have a general curiousity in growing plants. Love to pop in the backyard and grab stuff right off the stems for breakfast or a snack. Being able to share or trade your goods is also fun too.

        I asked about minecraft because I used to play and basically create a digital version of your microfarm. Rimworld is dangerous, I’ve sat down and lost hours without realizing it. Great game
