    You 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…
