Aside from the additional labor and the danger of contaminating your food supply with human-meat, Kibble just can't seem to catch a break. If your Rich Soil is plentiful, then Rice will perform comparatively better against Haygrass, and Pemmican gets better. So Pemmican *IS* more resource efficient.īut Pemmican has one major drawback compared to Kibble: It's a lot more work to make! How does the extra cooking labor relate to the amount of labor required to plant and harvest a somewhat larger farm? No idea.Īddendum: If your land is poor and you are having to subsist on Gravel-Potatoes or Hydroponic Rice, then this more heavily favors Pemmican. Any increase in the value of meat only make Pemmican proportionally better. I'm still a little uncertain as to whether I did the math right in the cost analysis, but even if you assign the meat a cost-value of 0 (or assume that the products are made from 100% veggies), Pemmican comes out slightly ahead at 2.53 vs. Pemmican looks like the winner in terms of efficiently converting your food into a processed good. I have assigned Hay a cost of 1.0, so the recipe has a cost of 40 food. The "Make Kibble" recipe converts 20 units of meat and 20 units of veggies into 50 pieces of Kibble. The vegetables here cost 1.42x as much to grow as Hay does, so I'm going to give the recipe a cost of 5 + 7.1 = 12.1 food.ġ8/12.1 = 1.49 raw->processed efficiency. The "Make pemmican" recipe converts 5 units of meat and 5 units of veggies into 18 pieces of Pemmican. Both Kibble and Pemmican use Meat and Vegetables in the same ratio, so the only differences are the output multipliers for the recipes, and the agricultural cost for growing the vegetables. This means roughly that it takes 14 tiles of potatoes to get the same nutrition as 10 tiles of Haygrass.įor comparing Pemmican to Kibble, I will be assuming that you have a quantity of meat already available to you and are deciding whether to grow Hay to convert it into Kibble, or Potatoes to make it into Pemmican. This gives a crop efficiency of around 2.54. Potatoes (as representative of food crops) have a growth-cost of 3.15 and a harvest yield of 8. This gives it a crop-efficiency of around 3.60. Haygrass has a growth-cost of 5.00 and a harvest yield of 18. Pemmican has the higher nutrient conversion ratio, but Kibble enables the use of high-yield Haygrass.
