Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?
Hugin@lemmy.world 10 months agoYou misunderstand potatos. Rice and corn both have high sensitivity to soil quality. Potatos have low sensitivity. So with normal or better soil rice and corn both get a big speed boost and potatos get a small speed boost.
With poor soil rice and corn get a big speed penalty potatos get small speed penalty.
So normal or better soil plant rice or corn. Poor soil plant potatos.

you are right!
i did actually forget about that when commenting, and thanks for the added info!
however, that’s not exactly what i was talking about:
assuming normal or better soil you need less work (i.e. time spent working the fields) per unit of nutrition when moving from rice->potato->corn because of yield.
so your pawns spend less time planting and harvesting, which results in higher overall colony productivity since they can do other stuff in-between, like cooking, cleaning, mining, etc.
you are correct in that you should choose which plant you use based on the soil first, and according to productivity second!
i just wasn’t really considering soil quality when writing the comment…
