Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled We Chosen Few:

A Farmer can either be a Vegetable Farmer or a Zombie Farmer.

Farmers who were active when this rule was enacted are Vegetable Farmers by default. The following list of Farmers’ names is a complete list of all Farmers who are Vegetable Farmers by default:

ais523, aguydude, Bucky, coppro, Crumb, Darknight, Darth Cliche, Ely, Florw, Galtori, Hix, Ienpw III, Josh, Keba, Kevan, Oze, Purplebeard, Rodlen, Roujo, SingularByte, spikebrennan, Subrincinator, Travis, William, Winner, Yoda

All other Farmers, including New Farmers or unidling Farmers who have not previously been active in this dynasty, are Zombie Farmers by default. If a Vegetable Farmer goes idle or becomes a Zombie Farmer through any other means then they are no longer Vegetable Farmers by default and may be removed from the list in this rule by any Farmer.

Change the list of names in the newly created rule above to reflect the active player list as of the time of enactment.

In the rules entitled Sun (or Resources if that is its name) and, if they exist, Planting and Neighbours, change any iteration of the word “Farmer” to read “Vegetable Farmer”.

Add the following as a sub-rule to the rule entitled either Sun or Resources, entitled Shadow:

As a weekly action, and provided that no other Zombie Framer has done so within the previous two days, a Zombie Farmer may accumulate Shadow. When accumulating Shadow, the Zombie Farmer gains [x] points of Shadow per Square of land in each Vegetable Farmer’s plot that does not currently carry a crop, where [x] is the Shade of that square. Each Zombie Farmer’s Shadow is tracked in the GNDT under Resources.

If it exists, add the following to the end of the rule entitled Planting.

Zombie Farmers may not plant any seeds except Headstones, and only Zombie Farmers may plant Headstones. As a weekly action, a Zombie Farmer may plant a Headstone as if it were a seed (as per the details above). Note that the Headstone’s cost is in Shadow.

If there is a rule entitled Planting, then add the following to the list of seeds on the Gardening Compendium wiki page:

Headstone

Name: Headstone
Shadow Cost: 100
Shade Requirement: 6

To the end of the following sentence in the rule entitled Farmland:

The Shade of a Square is a number that refers to the distance from that Square to the top row of the Farmer’s Plot to which it belongs.

add:

All Squares in a Zombie Farmer’s Plot have a Shade of 6.
