Kaze is still offline...I hoping it will be up sometime this week. in the mean time, i am creating various decor, furniture and such at the model home I have in Gentle Fire Grid. The bottom floor is mostly done and everything it full perm there. I will be adding things as I go, so watch the marketplace in Kaze (when it's back...) for lots of freebies!

Kaze no Sato is offline currently. We ran into a server problem and it will be offline until further notice. This is day 3.

I've created the fields, cleared out a kitchen store to use, added the scripts in the kitchen store and it return the following when i click "New Stock":

[08:23] Object: No items found nearby

So I'm thinking i need to add the new products to the VS system and would like to know how to go about doing that.
On s side note, I managed to add Kyuri to the beta Kitchen Store (April 2025). The beta test accepted the Kyuri and then when i tried to add the Kyuri it returned "checking" on the store in blue.

Got the "store" up at Kaze and you can get the Yasai Garden there. I am working on building objects that I have personally built as well -- like the Japanese-style fence. I am also learning how to use Blender ( i just downloaded it tonight) to make the object more region-friendly (LI vs. Prim) and will put them up soon.

The Konsai Garden is coming along well (it's in it's 2nd phase) and I should have some news about it soon! (see the picture for updated image)

Storage is coming slowly but should be ready for alpha-testing by April 14, 2025.
I am looking at 9 new gardens and a series of Fields for the Japanese set. After that, adding recipes to the original VivoSim devices (stoves, ovens, etc.) and then onto Japanese-style devices for the set up of farm and villages.

The goal is as follows:
➔ Japanese Foods & Drinks
➔ Japanese sewing & fiber crops with the ability to make yukatas, tatami, futons, etc.
➔ addition to the Smithy to make Kintsugi and jewelry
➔ addition of bamboo (& other trees) and the ability to make geta, tableware, decor, furniture,
buildings, tools etc.

I have been looking at the Kitchen Storage for keeping the Japanese crops that I am creating. My question is after looking at the scripts that I can find I don't truly understand how the the products end up in the containers. 

If i click on the shelf,  i get the standard scripts. The items on the shelves each have labels with their names and percentage of crops for each one, however there are no scripts in the contents of the containers. I'm not sure how this works, but would like to use this set-up to create a Japanese store.  Any help would be appreciated.
