remove the research project called basic plant knowledge from the research projects wiki page.
since there are no berries in the game it is silly to have a research project about getting berries.
nomics always place ideas into the rules. and we’ve had rules that don’t do anything by the end.
we voted not to add berries. too much grind is what we said.
it is bad to have useless learn thinks because random extra thunks at the end of hard thinks might be wasted on these learn thinks.

this is not in rules. rules says no berries because that is how we voted. this is in research projects which is different from the rules.
The useless effect isn’t a problem in itself, but since it doesn’t look like biology is going to be a major field, there’s no reason to keep this around.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
