Papyrus (often called 'papy' for short) is a plant that is grown along the shores of the Nile. It can be run through a Paper Press to make Papyrus Paper. It can also be dried in a Drying Rack or Flax Hammock in order to produce Dried Papyrus (which has its own uses) and seeds.
Cultivation
Papyrus is grown by throwing seeds into the Nile, then waiting for them to float downstream (i.e. northward), where they wash up on the riverbank and grow into papyrus plants.
Plant seeds on a muddy bank, then look for plants about 10 minutes later about 150 coordinates NORTH of where planted. Both the West Nile and East Nile are valid planting areas.
Wild papyrus plants were around at the start of the telling, but at this point, any papyrus you come across will have been cultivated by somebody. Please be careful not to steal another player's harvest!
Making Seeds
Papyrus Seeds (hf) are produced by drying papyrus at a high altitude. The higher the altitude at which the papyrus is dried, the more seeds are produced. At sea level, dried papyrus will usually produce no seeds; on the peaks of very tall mountains, an average of 40+ seeds per bundle of 20 papyrus is normal, but the per bundle yield ranges from 0 to 80 seeds. If you're concerned with getting lots of seeds, dry full bundles so rounding doesn't cost you so many fractions.
Uses
- Can be converted into Papyrus Paper in a Paper Press. Each batch of 4 papyrus yields 2 paper.
- Can be dried in a Drying Rack or Flax Hammock in order to produce Dried Papyrus. Dried papyrus can be woven into baskets on a Hand Loom, or added to a firepit to produce ash.
