Rice take 3 days of growth and berries 4.6 days. So rice gives 6 yield while berries give 8 yield at full growth. I'm stupid, i forgot that plant harvest yield was capped at 100%. The chicken wakes up with Haygrass for kibble, Haygrass > Kibble, Geese > Chickens, Milk > Eggs most situations. While not normally a big issue in the wild due to an abundance of food for most of the year, this is significant in a barn environment where you're footing the bill.įor example, take this simple graph of how much a chicken eats:įig 2. This mainly results in two things: a nutritional inefficiency in many animals based on overeating and Hunger Rate being a poor indicator of how much food is actually consumed in a day. Food consumed is rounded up but the animals don't get any value from excess consumed. In addition, animals are wasteful eaters. Animals try to eat as much as possible to fill their nutrition bar to full, up to 1 nutrition (20 units) per eating job. Once they hit this number, their next 'wander' job is replaced in their mind with a job to go and eat. Omnivores and carnivores get hungry when this number is at 30%. Herbivores get hungry when their nutrition is at 45% of their body size. Animal AI and Inefficiencyįirst thing worth discussing is why / when animals eat. is all necessary to get an accurate picture. That said, this graph (while totally true) doesn't translate well to in-game decisionmaking, and I kinda made it that way to help ease people into thinking about the lil' things nutritional inefficiency with smaller animals and other sources of work like the work to milk an animal, make kibble, etc. Wiki is actually pretty up-to-date for this stuff but the info is pretty difficult to use to compare animals with.

Work/Nut is the amount of pawn work necessary to produce 1 nutrition.Ĭobras are carnivores and thus can't survive off of plants, though their surprising efficiency was worth sharing. Nut Con = Nutrition Consumed, Nut Con / Day for 60 is the Nutrition Consumed by the # of animals required to produce 60 nutrition a year. Nut Prod / Day = Nutrition produced by the animal per day.
