It's a medieval-styled world. It's not medieval Earth. It doesn't share the same history. South America has its own varieties of seeded grass-like crops, and the Middle-East has starchy tubers — there's nothing magically intrinsic to potatoes or wheat that would have prevented them from developing on the same continent. "Historical Accuracy" is, in this instance, just a form of Special Pleading: saying that just because it happened one way in current Earth history, it must happen that way in all alternate variations or life-bearing alien planets.
(And then, consider yams, which are native to Africa, Asia, and the Americas…)
I think Survey is smart enough to avoid falling into that particular set of mistakes.
THERE ARE CONTROVERSIES! Yams/sweet potatoes are most likely from South America through contact with Polynesia

Besides this my point stands, if you can't use the current earth disposition of crops you have very little way of judging/analyzing other worlds, if you do, you will commit mistakes
Skyrim in particularly would be incredibly weird, well selected crops whilst being less than 20k years older than the sun
Actually Skyrim would have a very low radiation and very high magika signature, since their sun doesn't exude radiation, so Skyrim might not have radioactive materials period, which shows up in testing, so the carbon 14 testing results in it being at the end of time
Remember though, this wouldn't be normal waters of life. It would be super divine grade beyond perfection infinity plus one waters of life.
good point, it would also affect the rest of the biologicals in the forge, since the nanites, or even the trek medical expertise alone can probably prevent it from being lethal
keep in mind that people in dune survive this without any medical assistance, Jessica was in the middle of a cave, only using their body control techniques, nanites can at least do a similar job
Could he get Ambrosia and Nectar from the PJ Greek Gods?
from the wiki:
The pavilion's goblets are enchanted, and, on voice command, will be filled with whatever drink you desire (non-alcoholic, even Mr. D is forced to drink Diet Coke). Another quality of the goblets is that they never empty. The type of food in the Pavilion include BBQ, grapes, apples, strawberries, cheese, and fresh bread, that the dryads serve. As stated in The Lightning Thief when they go to Aunty Em's, the food at Camp Half-Blood is healthy.
I don't think anyone but the gods themselves partake in these kinds of foods, so it isn't really a cultural thing, it would, however, contain atlantian food if Joe was from atlantis
So, we got the food perk. There is one thing I've been wondering ever since I first saw it in the Forge list, and that is: Will the food obtained from Skyrim (Nirn? Wastelands is hardly the planet name, so it's likely called Skyrim in the menu..) have the small but measurable effects that it has in game? LordR also hasn't mentioned any plants from Skyrim that might have Alchemical effects from earlier workshop perks obtained... I still have hopes for the Mall though, since it will (eventually) include a general purpose store from there, which is bound to have a few low level spells and a couple simple Alchemy recipes, along with ingredients...
most foods don't have measurable effects to the NPCs, it is a common story device, like how a long rest to restore HP isn't actually a real thing in faerun
Skyrims food would noticeably be full of magic since the sun is a giant magical portal instead of a ball of fusion, and alchemical ingredients are famously horrible food, as evidenced by that one guy in Markarth
the ingredients that are food get delivered but the ones that arent arent, thats the most simple way to deal with it
Nemesis programming gets inserted after the mind wipe or how would it even work? If Joe spots the effective Mastering and investigates, he'll find clues that should eventually link C53s and Cauldron.
that being their undoing is really funny, their most cotonishly evil act leading to them back is very ironic
I got to say now that they have their own food they can get from any time or what if earths this means they have solved world hunger they literally have solved it because you can get any food you want even those that exist in different earths you can also use this to bring back exctint animals back to the world
one of the worlds was chrono trigger, and whilst those would be some funky looking toryama dinosaurs, but still dinasours, time travel messes with a lot of stuff without involving the Celestial Forge in it
Silly Flechette, you missed that Uppercrust also "gets her" and is possibly the only individual there to escape Garment's presence without a new accessory.
Anyway, was that a notice diversion charm (muggle repelling) from HP that Joe was using there? I wonder how that affects their patrol coordinator/radio contact, assuming they have one.
As for the food, order a week's supply of the diet of a tyrannosaur, see what shows up. The lab needs some cloned megafauna IMHO. I'm sure the Matrix would love to look after a herd of triceratops…
On the Ragamuffin point; it sounds like he's part of the Nemesis programme which means fixing him leads to Cauldron. An interesting coincidence, no?
oh god all the possible mounts will be all in Fleets alley, he definitely seems like he would have horses if possible
Only eight? That doesn't seem right. Is it a selection issue? Can they not stretch the variety to the breaking point, to the point of getting the smallest purchasable quantity of as many things as possible, by just brute-forcing the Brand selection? Joe should be able to flash-cultivate any that he has a single sample of.
Actually you know what? He could probably use those reconstruction nanomachines to reconstruct whatever plant they were harvested from. Could probably do the same with Tybalt's monster-stakes as well.
yeah, getting DNA from cooked food is still difficult, the DNA gets destroyed by heat, so probably not much, they could replicate the substances far easier
live animals are also possible, those were commonly taken on military campaign and buying a live animal to eat it has been a common practice throughout all of history, and even more with plants that are still alive until cooked
So, in chapter 96 Breakthrough, Joe got the Basic Accommodations perk, and in this one he got Basic Nutrition (and its upgrades). Combined, he can now house, water and feed 1 person for every 4 cubic meters of his warehouse, which is the size of a continent now, I think? Regardless, even if he and the rest of the crew did nothing to make that better, the Celestial Forge could likely house, feed and water everyone in the city.
I imagine that between Joe's various production perks and things like Star Trek replicators, let alone having the Matrix handle it, he could have done so anyway, yet I am still kinda surprised that Joe didn't mention that perk combo. For completeness' sake, if nothing else. There may be some way to take advantage of that, after all.
he already could do that, mostly, it was simply not something that he would have bothered with, in all honesty I'm surprised he isn't anonymously donating food to African children already, it's not like the PRT could even connect that to him
he is like every American comics the mistake of thinking the United States is the center of the world, not there are places where he could help discreetly that absolutely no one could connect, especially since no cape acts on a global scale, people just won't associate actions in Africa to an American cape
or he could just make new identities for that specific purpose
