The Economics of Corn Farming - Discord Repost
Corn doesn't use up soil or iron, as long as you worm it.
Because there is approximately double the amount of soil, worming hardened rows isn't as much of an opportunity cost as before
Just have multiple farms
I reckon multiples of 2x3 farms, which produce 576 calories per harvest would be ideal. Potentially 6x 2x3 which would be able to feed 6-12 people would be ideal, and could be managed by 2-3 people. Corn is also incredibly water efficient -
Corn (per water) = 96 calories
Carrots = ~30
Berries = 30
That's more than THREE times more efficient than berries... Crazy...
This means you only need 2 "workers" in a society to feed everyone. Corn is the master race
In an hour a berry plot can produce 30 calories, whereas in an hour and 8 minutes a corn plot can produce 96 calories - so corn wins by far in both of those important criteria. The only downside is you need A LOT of bowls... about 12 per person over a lifetime (IMO a minimum of 30 or so for a civ and a constant fire)

Re: The Economics of Corn Farming - Discord Repost
Berries still 30, corn has infinite seeds.
We obviously need to have some berries some carrots and some wheat for composting.
I have seen a few sheeps out already. Seems like there was a map wipe for soil update.
We are recovering VERY fast though

Re: The Economics of Corn Farming - Discord Repost
i did a few pens all around but seen many made of pits, people are good at it, bit tedious to plant but bushes are the way to go, corn can feed babies and elders or just chatting while eat it
