Farming critique and fertilizer

[chrisrock]

Needs to be something besides straight up animal manure.

the answer is simple... hearthlings need to poop. everyday.
and then use that as a fertilizer.

What is this ARK? Are we going to begin harvesting newbies, rounding them up into cages and forcing them to poop to feed our farms before killing them?

Honestly? You need to do large scale animal husbandry, because if you have like, enough cows that they plot out a baby a day, you might get one worth keeping a month.

However, while animal shit in general is a good fertilizer, I would suggest pigs. Cows already give milk, sheep give wool, all pigs give is meat.

I think that's a swell idea, although I'm really hoping we'd see some variety (guano, compost, pig manure, etc).

Then you're doing something wrong.
Breed a strain for Milk, one for Hide, and one for Meat - then you will have more then one per month in case you have a calf a day (so 10 per strain per month).

That's still 5 qualities you're breeding for for each strain

I've seen higher numbers in some pictures, I'm assuming they are related to successive generations.
