Agri-Arcos

 So now we're going to look at dedicated agricultural arcologies


1) Not a ton of outposts, people kind of want to the *food* near them


Some operate like vineyards. Which is ironic, because grapes themselves grow reasonably well in arcologies. In fact, there's been a large move to make spirits out of especially pears, maybe apples and cherries, because of the three pronged used of good spirits/good food/good wood, while wine and grain would be *wasted* getting people drunk?


3) Kind of Ponderosa coded, at least that's how they view themselves, but they're also very Silicon Valley (I guess Skywalker Ranch if they didn't make Star Wars. Hmm, I wonder if Skywalker Ranch would be something they try to evoke. Lightsabers and Jedi Robes becoming the new cowboy hat and spurs). But in general, very rich people needed capital to set up these buildings in the first place


4) Usually multiple ones per city, at least three

5) Attracted a lot of small towns people who fetishized rural living, maybe conservative values, might be even more amped up because it's so easy to jump on the train to the big city making the families more protective. 6) Large focus on cereal grains, like wheat rice and corn. These are the staples of society, maybe people will learn to appreciate full yeast, but grain, once you have the heard start, you have high yield and an easy to store. 7) Then you have livestock. If there are cows, this is where they’ll be. If now, this is where people will be trying something else, because people miss cheese that much. People likewise testing various other things as mounts or meat or egg sources, etc. 8) However, we get milk, this will turn the milkman into an an almost operatic figure? Like, remember the old milkman visiting lonely wives joke? Well here, the milkman is basically Han Solo. 9) Possibly aquatic farms. You know what might be a crazy source of dairy if we don’t have cows anymore, belugas.
