Seris & Bambuk
I've been planning to reinforce our outpost with recycled steel and packed earth. It’s efficient, cheap, and less noticeable. But I heard you work with herbal stuff—maybe we can grow thick vines or moss on the walls to keep the camouflage natural and even provide healing for those who get hurt. What do you think?
That sounds like a wonderful blend of practicality and nature. Growing vines or moss on the walls will not only disguise the structure but also create a living, breathing environment. I can suggest a few hardy plants that thrive in low light and bring healing qualities—like lavender for calming, chamomile for soothing cuts, and a small patch of aloe for skin care. Let’s pick the best mix for our climate and make the outpost a sanctuary for both us and the earth.
Nice idea. Lavender’s scent will keep morale up, chamomile’s quick to heal a scrape, and aloe will cover any burns from the forge. We’ll grow them along the inner walls and the tops of the ramparts. That way the outpost looks natural, and we get a quick patch of medicine whenever we need it. I’ll start mapping the spots where light is weakest and we can get the best spread. Let me know if you’ve got any other plants that can survive the chill.
That sounds lovely. For the chill spots, rosemary and thyme do well in cooler weather and add a pleasant scent. Yarrow grows fine in drier, shaded areas and its flowers help with minor wounds. A hardy fern or a few lichen patches can keep the walls green even in winter. If you want something that stays green year‑round, consider a low‑maintenance moss mix—just spread a thin layer of soil and keep it moist. These will keep the outpost looking natural and give us extra healing plants to use when needed.
