When cooked only 1177 units need to be hauled. For 1000 uncooked nutrition that means 2000 raw units need to be hauled. Cooking decreases the raw food needed by 41%, and this is a massive reduction in the necessary raw food that needs to be hauled. In terms of total labor involved, cooking time grows inversely with needed hauling. In either case of limited available land or limited winter storage, space is a constraint. Only if the player runs out of land or has winter, then stored animal fodder is needed. i can't FIT more food into my base/map/hydroponics/whatever.If you have lots grazing land and no winter, you don't need to grow animal food. QuoteYour chart only really matters if SPACE is the issue.eg. I'm going to try and focus on this in terms of animal feed, but these results translate into human feeding too cooked is better than uncooked. If you're in a situation where each scrap of food matters, then cooking is the way to go (or mass creating nutrient paste meals via feeding/cancelling prisoners and patients), but if you just want an efficiently running colony where production per colonist labor hour is maximized, then maybe raw is better. 50), but i'm sure that 70% disappears.and then some.when you factor in cooking labor. The colonist effort in planting, cutting, and hauling is about 70% higher for haygrass than meals (85 ingredients vs. What about non-ice maps, where lots of people will be using fine meals as their primary meal source, and now are cooking with meat too (also, more hauling.) i can't FIT more food into my base/map/hydroponics/whatever.Īssuming you have enough space to grow whatever food you want, how does the comparison hold up when you factor in the time it takes for cooking the meal (hauling ingredients, cooking, hauling meal.even with ideal stockpiles, there is still a LITTLE hauling done) in addition to growing the food. Your chart only really matters if SPACE is the issue.eg. Sure, but now consider (though its less likely to be able to easily be fit into your graphs) cooking time/effort.
