Requires Modern Sheep Farming? JulianJaynes 11:16, 27 April 2009 (EST)

Built in a small construction site.

  • You can only fill the trough with 50 thistles at a time. This gives 50,000 thistle bits in the trough.
  • I read the Tale 1 information below to mean that sheep would, if given only thistles, eat them instead of onions (i.e., that thistles were an onion-alternative). This is not the case. Thistles seem to have no purpose whatsoever to Tale 3 sheep, since sheep pox hasn't reared its ugly head since the first telling.

Note: Some T1 info: A Modern Sheep Farm works similar to a Sheep Pen, but with a few important differences:

  • It is much larger, and can accomodate up to 50 sheep before they stop breeding.
  • Sheep in a Modern Sheep Farm may be fed thistles in addition to onions. One thistle adds 1000 thistle bits to the trough, which are consumed at the same rate as onions (3 bits every 3 hours for males, 1 bit every three hours for females). Sheep that have thistles to eat are immune to sheep pox. The thistles will require medium (~) or better of two vitamins, and the requirement will change each time thistles are added.
  • It is much more costly to build, but it may be worth it in place of 3-5+ normal sheep pens or if you don't want to risk the ever-present chance of pox in the original pens.
