Balancing corn against other foods. Via popcorn, a corn plant used to…

… produce 96 food (with current food bonus of 2) vs 35 for a carrot row using same water and soil. Now a bowl of popcorn has 4 bites instead of 8, bringing the food per corn plant down to 48. Still better than carrots as a single-ingredient food source, but it takes more steps/time to prepare, and is less portable.

I'm going to be adding a lot more crops and farmable things in the next update.  None of them are going to be "the" food source of choice, but hopefully a tangled web of food choices with small but important differences between them.

I'll make sure to do the math next time before making an OP-popcorn blunder like this again.

It would be great to have crops with varying growing speed, so an increase in population would need to plant some fast crops while the slower one grow.

Or low calorie crops but that can be cooked into very nutritious meals with advanced tech, like making sausages for example.

Honestly, having a lot of different crops makes farming far more interesting. Most people don't want to live their entire life as a carrot farmer, but I am thinking most people will be okay with being a farmer if you had like 5 or 6 different crops.

Corn is still the best cause of seeds.

May we please be able to get corn out of bowls? Like we do with plain carrot bowls.

I was in lil camp and one of the bowls had corn stuck in it.

I'm glad you fixed it. Last night was a treat, not a meal. It was starting to feel like so much weight was lifted off our shoulders we were floating around in the Vomit Comet. No thanks. I like a good, balanced, diet of; struggle, suffering and triumph.

Damn.  Maybe sacrificing few more babies to Centeotl could revert this nerf.
