Farms in Lights Out?

[Indica]

So, I've become addicted with lights out and I can't play default anymore. I am trying to find out if farms are possible? Since the lights are off, there are no birds. No way to get seeds to create the farm. Also there's no eggs to make a bird in a cage, due to the lights.
 

Any ideas?

Caves.

No birds no farms. Simple as that.

Caves.

Hard to do now, since those ceiling lights in caves are synced with the time above ground. If it's daytime, ceiling light. Dusk, not as bright. Night there is no ceiling light at all.

 

So there are no ceiling lights at all in caves in lights out, not even the one near your sinkhole rope.

There are no birds to bring seeds for farms when the game is set to perpetual night.

Short of finding a setpiece with seeds, manure, etc, I  can't think of any other way to get seeds.

Can't remember if I could use rot/manure-based  items at night to grow a farm or not. 

 

No birds/eggs.

Use the console to treat yourself some seeds, and maybe a bird. Birds are such an important resource for craftings, I hope Klei adds some way to acquire them at the lights out preset.

Actually, you can get black bird feathers and eggs from pengulls, Though  i'm not sure if they arrive at night.

They probably won't, as of many creatures are "AFK" while it is night, but I never tried lights out, so I can't know.

 

Also, black feathers are the less useful feathers. The real deal is the red one and the snowbird's feather (used to create blow darts).

What is with Wickerbottoms Bird summoning?

[HoneyHam]

I'm way too bad to play "Lights out".

Wickerbottom can summon birds, but I'm not sure if they'll actually drop seeds for you since it'll be permanently nighttime. And capturing them isn't that useful because without seeds, you can't make a birdcage anyway.

 

It'd be worth a try, though, to see if they -will- give any seeds. I bet they'll just instantly fall asleep, though. At least it'd be free food.

Had the same idea, just tested. I got one seed each time I used the book. They don't sleep. They touch down for one half second and then immediately fly away.

 

You do need eggs to write the book though... So perhaps if penguils come ashore at night you could do farms??
