Added multiple outbuilding spawns to farm_1 #27331
Conversation
Adds a grain silo (copied from ranch_camp_57), a chicken coop, and a greenhouse as possible spawns for farm_1 (Upper right portion of the farm, usually occupied by tilled soil and food).

Are you sure the coop will hold the chickens inside? I recall people complaining about fences not being able to contain animals as they should. |

Not sure at all. They are located inside a building of wooden walls, with a wooden door and makeshift door, so I assume it's fully closed in. There is an exterior fence as well, but I wouldn't expect that to stop them. EDIT: After a little bit of testing, they seem happy to stay in the building. I tested by standing on one side of the building (so they congregated at the other) and then waiting for long periods of time. I then swapped sides so they were near the door tiles, and repeated. It's limited testing, of course, but they never left. |

Anyway poultry would die if not fed/hydrated daily. |
Summary
SUMMARY: Content "Added outbuildings to default farm"Purpose of change
The default farm always has the same layout (though the farmhouse has 2 possible layouts). I wanted to add some more farm-type buildings to the lot, as it is otherwise just tilled soil and food.
Additional context
Added a grain silo -- A direct copy of the silo from ranch_camp_57 except that mine has fewer tools and there's actually wheat in the silo.
Added a greenhouse -- The Greenhouse is just a glass building with tilled soil (which has the same chance to spawn food items as the outside tilled soil) and a rack with possible earthworking tools. This greenhouse is purely aesthetic, of course, it won't allow you to grow plants in cold weather.
Added a chicken coop -- A simple wooden building with some straw. Inside, two chickens and a baby chick will spawn. I am unfamiliar with the animal-raising aspect of Cataclysm, so ya'll have to let me know if having chickens in a confined space is too much of a boon for the player.
Remember that the farm is a potential spawn location for those in the 'Out of Town' scenario, so if anything is unbalanced, it could have a significant impact on those that begin their game there.
