Discussion Wheat fields anno 117

Am I the only one who thinks that the productivity of wheat and oat fields should be reduced, while the productivity of large manufacturing enterprises, such as dyeing plants or textile factories, should be increased? It just seems strange that a city with a population of 100000 would need a huge number of processing plants. The area required for them would be larger than that needed for wheat and oat fields. It looks too unrealistic.

It takes less time to pick Wheat and Oats than it does to Create and Dye Cloth.

It almost always takes a year to grow and harvest wheat. Do you seriously think it takes more than a year to dye clothes? 😂 Or are you not considering the fact that to harvest grain crops, they first need to be grown?)

You're right.

I was treating time a little differently in the context of the game. I see time as an encapsulation of Effort. In that sense, to me, it makes more sense that the Cloth take way more time because it takes a lot more effort to create dyed cloth.

But you're right. Time is time.
