Beetroots are better actually. They use less effort (5 units of fodder per square harvested) take only 50% longer to grow (12hr growing time instead of 8) and easily keep up with animal quality. Pumpkins are even better, but I'd say you need a fair sized herd and therefore field to guarantee your quality goes up fast enough.Girlinhat wrote:Carrots grow very rapidly. You'll be bringing in more than one harvest per day (like, once every 15 hours or so?) especially when you get a beehinve or two. You'll find yourself throwing away carrots. So difficult to get, but when they start growing you get hundreds of them. Because of this, you should use a small carrot patch, because you'll be harvesting it frequently. Or a large carrot patch and some cattle. Convert that per carrot into con beef, or any cheese.
Beetroots generate 0.417 (5/12) fodder per square per hour, carrots generate 0.25 (2/8) per square per hour. So they're also more space efficient. Pumpkins you need large fields with rotating harvests... so yeah they're just annoying imo. With beetroots, if you have a special field for the animals you don't even need to harvest until you need the fodder since the Q goes up so much faster than that of the animals.
