I'm mostly asking because I posted a photobash of an airship yard I did to the solarpunk subreddit and someone brought up combining airship mooring masts and screw conveyors like grain silos use (though we might be closer to concrete-industry-scale once you lift stuff to mooring-mast-height). A combined mooring mast and silo might be practical in a place with a lot of flavors of agroforestry, where they might not want to clear a patch of empty land just for landing airships.
It got me thinking about grain silos and how they'd fit. I know folks on this instance generally don't like industrial scale farming and monocrops, which is what I generally associate with grain, but I know so little about it. So I guess my questions are pretty broad and open to correction - could the mooring mast/silo idea work in a society with a lot of airborne shipping, what's a solarpunk way to grow those crops? Anything you'd like to see in art of farming? (I'm still working on the scene of the village, which includes all the suggestions from last time)
This is all awesome information, thank you for diving in! I've definitely got some more reading to do!
And it's definitely worldbuilding - hopefully folks don't mind me posting questions around the instance almost weekly, but it's been really helpful for figuring out scenes before I draw them, and for building this setting in my head. I'm hoping to dive in on short fiction again soon. Plus when I see the same questions over on the subreddit I can link them to everyone's answers. I'm hoping this will kind of build a resource for writers planning their solarpunk settings.
