meepmoop Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I have been surfing the web trying to find a concreat answer but answers seem to vary, and most of them might be outdated. So im coming to the wise folk of this community seeking for an answer once and for all. How much does it take a crop to drop its harvest? does it change depending on the plant? and if its wild or domestic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurdRage Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 4 cycles after it's ready. Very handy calculator here: https://oni-assistant.com/tools/foodcalculator I use it all the time when building out my automated bases. Seems to match inline with what my dupes consume per cycle. Early on i do NOT recommend letting them drop, especially for domesticated plants. Keep harvesting. Your resources are limited and letting the plant spend 4 cycles wasting them can put you in a bad spot. But later on, knock yourself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakomaru Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 And for tree branches, I've heard it takes 20 cycles. Domestication doesn't change the natural drop timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karyuendan08 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The real question is the plant still drop the goods if you don't feed it during these 4 cycles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharraShimada Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 But what good is this information? There is no "plant has finished growing" sensor. You may build a clock-thingy, but you can never predict issues delaying growth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BT_20 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I personally don’t think waiting for the crop to drop its harvest is worth it unless you have a massive wild grow farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakomaru Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 You can fully automate the maintenance of feeding and not feeding plants on a timer. They'll sync up. Wild farms are certainly much more straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
