Q: How do you get food to a desert village?

Occasionally a desert village will start a project that requires food. So far the only way I've found to get food is 1-3 at a time through the use of basic animals. How can I get a lot of food into my desert villages to finish these projects?

I love how SE decided not to show me a message from The Bridge directed to me yesterday before I joined. Until now that is.

But yes, A Hat In Time is by Mecha the Slag, who is notorious for creating what could be interesting TF2 game modes... and then when they break when TF2 is updated, not releasing the fixed versions to the public.

Incidentally, Slag Gaming gets a lot of hate in the TF2 community because of this.

It is the first non-Pokémon game developed by Game Freak since 2005's Drill Dozer. The game was released on the Nintendo eShop in Japan on September 5, 2012 and in Europe and North America on March 28, 2013. Plot On a musical planet known as Melodia, a boy named Tempo is training alongside his rabbit companion, Tappy. One day, a meteor crash lands on Melodia, bringing with it the evil Gargan and his army of Noizoids, who start disrupting peace on the planet. Disco...
