Carrots
Carrots are time-sensitive Hollow maps.
They require data from the Hollow to generate a route.
Investigators and Proxies always talk about Carrots, so what exactly are they?
We obviously don't mean the vegetable!
Essentially, Carrots are time-sensitive Hollow maps. Although the space in Hollows is ever-changing, it's still possible to trace patterns within a certain period of time. The Hollow Investigative Association is able to map out the best path out of a Hollow, import the data in a chip and distribute it to Investigators' Bangboo to ensure Investigators can safely travel through the Hollows.
The data used is called a "Carrot."
How to Obtain
Buying a Carrot
It is possible to get a carrot from a Hollow Investigator for a price.
Creating Carrots
Experienced Proxies or Agents can make Carrots themselves, and these can work even better than the Hollow Investigative Association's ones.
The most important part of creating a Carrot is obtaining enough data. The Hollow Investigative Association and some companies in the Hollow industry have open-source data.
I got open-source Hollow data from our school (can't disclose more details, sorry) and wanna try working as a Proxy part-time. Of course, the first step is making a homemade Carrot. Don't worry, I don't wanna cause anyone trouble, I just want to make some for low-risk Hollows to practice. There's lots of tutorials online, but I was wondering if anyone has any good tips.
The process itself isn't a secret, nor is it very complicated. The difficult part is obtaining a sufficient amount of data. You can't generate a route without it.
Such data isn't strictly classified. The HIA and some companies in Hollow-related industries also have open-source projects with Hollow investigative dat for commercial or scientific purposes.
