Questions about Sleet Wheat farming

Hi there everyone .  Does using Micronutrient Fertilizer from the farm station helps reduce our dirt cost from farming sleet wheat ?

In a word, yes. Someone else will probably post the math soon.

The Food Calculator includes an option for fertilizer now.

Frost buns, without fertilizer: 12.5kg dirt, 50kg water per cycle per dupe.

With fertilizer: 8.44kg dirt, 25kg water, 2.03kg polluted water, 1.35kg phosphorite per cycle per dupe.

Pepper bread’s the real reason to do sleet wheat, not frost buns, but the calculator includes the pepper plants in the fertilizer calculation and if dirt is your primary concern you don’t want to fertilize those.
