Block Change Request: [Addition] Hemp block

Request: [Addition] Hemp block

Request Type: General Addition

Try to describe all workarounds and associated issues that make it necessary to add this block in your eyes.
Making an official reminder on the hemp request made some time ago.
As far as I know, it was already approved, but just need to finish the production. I would really appreciate to have it in the next texture update!

The block should be a CTM of 2 and 3 blocks tall.

The hemp species is Cannabis sativa sativa, and not indica (which is usually the drug variety). Plants were tall and thin, as the longer the stem, the longer the fibers to use (see image linked).

Types of evidence to support your request: Historical

Historical Evidence
Hemp was grown since Neolithic, originated in middle east and followed humans migrations since then. In Europe, it was grown a lot due to the multiple uses: clothes, fabrics, ropes, paper, medicine, cooking (ex: oil from the seeds), sails, etc.

It was as common as flax and cotton, if not more. We can easily assume that it could be found from southern Reach/border with Dorne to the Neck, with a predilection for the Reach, westerlands, northern Dorne and western stormlands.

Hey, seeing there's a lot of new requests, just want to bump this one to be sure it's not buried and it will come in the next update.

I've started to implement hemp in several in progress projects already, whenever it's released, and I'll be happy to edit/add some hemp fields where it fits (like near rope makers).

*bump*

i would love to get this in the next update, since i'm planning on hemp fields in my megabuild.

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

I've already made a texture for this. I wasn't sure if there was a go-ahead for it yet.

 

[Elduwin]

Last I heard about the texture, it was still WIP. Would it be possible to post it here to see how it looks?

I'm fine with adding this. I've moved to in-progess, though I'd like to see some details fleshed out on (a) where in Westeros that hemp production might be a significant industry, and (b) a process for retrofitting existing builds in those regions with the new texture (whether replacing hemp fields currently represented using another block, or changing a field of another type to hemp and adding the associated industry).

Thamus_Knoward , would you mind posting the tile/PSD for the hemp texture you have currently in this thread?

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

All that's still needed is to adjust the color afair. I never made a PSD for this, or at least not one with layers that you could manipulate. :S Sorry!

Here's the latest edition:

 

[Thamus_Knoward]

I added three block models:
Wheel block | 2-3 blocks tall (mostly 3) | Place 1 block above the ground
Wattle block | 3 blocks tall and dense | Place 1 block above the ground
2x2 Starchart block | 1-2 blocks tall (mostly 1) | Place directly on the ground
