Krazy Kraut Lady

So i made a post not to long ago about the efficentcy of foods and my conclusion was that sauerkraut was one of the most effeceint foods in the game, (popcorn meta aint got nothing on kraut, fight me). Anyways after coming to this realization i thought what better way to prove my hypothisis then to make as much as possible until i die. Thus began my life in a moderatly well village.

Had to pretty much make everything from scratch, that involved getting the kraut board and masher, firing and making crocks placing soil, tilling, getting seeds, planting, watering, the salt was actually pretty easy since there was a tundra right next to the village and the actual process of making the sauer kraut took the shortest time to get done. By the end of it i made 8 crock pots filled of kraut goodness, i coulda made more but my original intent was to make just 8 and seeing as i succedded in doing that i just decided to take it easy for the rest of my life, well almost.

The photo above is of me a little bit after completing all the crocks, the person in the appron at first was a little annoying asking me if i was someone but actually helped out a good bit in making them so for that im thankful. I also got around to making another food i thought was efficient with pips being bread. although it was not even close to how much kraut i made.

At about 50 i ran up to the berry farm to see what people were doing and found people muching on the berries, at that point i had a idea to test another hypothisis: How often will someone eat food near the gooseberry farm instead of the berries themselves? Turns out its actually really well, i started out by bringing bowls of kraut to the edge of the berry farms urging people to start eating them instead of berries. People caught on pretty quickly and started eating them, so with the bowls being eaten up i was making frequent trips back and forth trying to get sauer kraut to the farms as fast as i could, lest the beast revert to their primitive ways. i mange to keep them fed at the berry farm for quite a while. Only 2 out of the 10 or so people i saw were eatting berries, most people were actually pretty good about eating alternative foods near the farms themselves so yeah its actually a pretty good strategy. Couple pointers though for doing this:

1. Place the food facing the center of town, its very rare a baby or noob will be on the outskirts where theres less to do so putting the food only on the side closest to the center of your town is alot more effective

2. Try to make food there as convenient as possible, i had to get bowls from the bakery 20 tiles away so it was kinda hard to keep up with the demand, im sure if i had make the kraut right next to it i woulda had a smoother time.

3. Tell people to eat your food instead of the berries, this is to mainly help the new players that automate to eating berries, and also introduces them to alternative food sources

4.  Stick around for a bit after putting the food down to see and correct if anyone is still eating the berries, sometimes someone might of been two screens away to hear your message, so sticking around to catch the baby boomers can save you alot of trouble

That being said this was actually one of my best lives in a while, no one was killing eachother, tools and food was fairly plentiful, and everyone had clothes lol hope to find a village like this soon.

That's awsome! Were you also crazy broth dude yesterday? Village of 6 people, 4 carved turkeys, 3 crocks of broth and two more empty crocks waiting. Amazing!

Re: Krazy Kraut Lady

oh hey, that was me in the apron! lmfao, sorry to be annoying, but i dont typically see many people making kraut, and thats why i asked if you were tarr. i was actually in the process of telling someone i was lagging too much to teach them pies in the first pic, i believe. im glad i could be helpful tho! even if it was only to spam tf out of the salt water on the coals and moving the plates and rocks around.
