b) Examples of what it can offer
c) Skills to be developed
d) New Structures


a)
- Being able to find Truffles
b)
- Characters can't find truffles because their hidden undergroud, only dogs/pigs can
- New Recipes (baking maybe?)
- There are hundreds of different Truffles species. There could be a few from the common to the more rare laying around the map in different seasons
- Truffles CAN'T BE planted
c)
- Truffle snifing (without it, your dog/pig can't locate the truffles)
- Truffle cooking (to cook new recipes with truffles, or involve this recipes with other skills)

YOu seem to be obsessed with truffles

I didnt know dogs could find truffles.. I thought it was Only Pigs...

Truffle hunters in Italy and France use pigs and mixed-breed dogs to sniff out truffles. Dogs are preferred to pigs because pigs love to eat truffles.

In Italy, truffle dogs are trained in several steps. First, the dog is taught to retrieve a rubber ball. Next, a small bit of smelly Gorgonzola cheese is substituted for the rubber ball. After the dog has learned to retrieve the cheese, the cheese is hidden, forcing the dog to sniff it out for a reward of food. Finally, a small truffle is substituted for the cheese. The dog is trained to fetch, then dig up the truffle.
