Rimworld refrigerator12/30/2023 If you have a 10+ skilled planter with field hands then Rice has essentially no labor cost, they zip through your hydroponics bays in seconds and then it just becomes a matter of hauling.

Since hay is nutrition efficient and takes long to grow it's not so labour intensive, letting me concentrate on more diverse projects. Rice seems like such a waste to feed to animals, though, currently need all the rice for my colonists, I have 3 fields of hay under a sun lamp in a greenhouse and can feed 60+ animals atm. I needed four pawns just to keep on top of it at the slowest of times. The very concept of starvation had disappeared into the ether. I just let my animals graze straight from the bays during the winter because over the course of the summer I'd picked several thousand units of rice for my pawn meals. You want to talk about labour, though? Eight hydroponic sectors (24 bays each) each growing rice. So yeah, more labour-intensive, which means you'll be grinding your Plants skill and thus have better yields when harvesting anything else. Nearly as nutritious as hay, plus it grows nearly three times quicker (4-ish days compared to 12-ish). Originally posted by RCMidas:Dandelions, yeah. Was really rough, until I got my hayfield greenhouses online, but I'm at a point where I don't have animals starvation anymore and want to expand, so all that grazing area looks like such a waste. I am reliant on Hay, because in my geolocation I can only grow 30 out of 60 days a year, as a rancher, which want big life-stock numbers. I don't see any option to sow grass, I am sowing Dandelions, they are, afaik, the most valuable work/nutrition wise for them to snack on, to artificially, reliably, increase their nutrition supply, but you can't store them for the winter. Originally posted by Jaggid Edje:Hay is pretty darn efficient in terms of what you get from the area, IF you let it grow to maturation before harvesting (i.e. I think it is more labor intensive though, which I didn't want, so I haven't done that. I've also seen posts where people talk about growing dandelions instead of hay as their feed crop. Unless you want to waste your people food on them when that happens. The hayfield as backup is a good idea regardless, because all it takes is one cold snap or fire that kills all the grass and your animals will starve if you don't have enough hay in storage to last through it. This has worked really well for me so far. Then I supplement it with a single, relatively small, hayfield that is outside the pastures. What I've been doing is setting a grow zone inside pastures and setting it to grow grass for them to graze (and setting it to sew but don't cut so my planters don't waste any time on it other than planting if natural spread doesn't keep up).
