'''Toxipotatoes''' are a vegetable [[raw food]] obtained by harvesting [[toxipotato plant]]s. Toxipotato plants are one of the only plants to grow on polluted soil, but toxipotatoes have an increased chance of [[food poisoning]] when eaten raw. 

== Acquisition == 
Toxipotatoes are harvested from [[toxipotato plant]]s. Each plant requires {{Q|Toxipotato plant|Real Grow Days}} full days at optimal light and temperature range to reach maturity in normal, 100% fertile soil and yields {{Q|Toxipotato plant|Harvest Yield}} units per plant, before modifiers for [[Difficulty]] and [[Plant Harvest Yield]]. 

== Summary ==
As a [[raw food]], toxipotatoes can be be eaten raw, with a chance of giving [[food poisoning]], however this chance is double that of other raw foods at 4%. They can also be cooked into a [[meal]] with a food poisoning chance dependent on the skill of the cook and the [[cleanliness]] of the kitchen, with no additional malus when compared to other raw foods. [[Animals]] are immune to food poisoning from raw food but not from meals. When used in food recipes that require specific types of [[nutrition]], such as [[fine meal]]s, toxipotatoes are classified as a vegetable.

As with most raw food, eating toxipotatoes directly results in a {{--|7}} ''Ate raw food'' [[mood]] penalty. This mood penalty is negated if the pawn has the [[ascetic]] trait or the [[Genes#Robust digestion|robust digestion]] gene.

Toxipotatoes take {{P|Days To Rot Start}} days to rot, tied with [[corn]] for the longest rot time of all raw food {{Hover title|Version/1.4.3704|at the time of writing}}.

== Analysis ==
Toxipotato plants ({{Q|Toxipotato plant|Harvest_Yield_Per_Day_(100)}} base yield/day) are strictly inferior in yield to both [[potato plant]]s ({{Q|Potato plant|Harvest_Yield_Per_Day_(100)}} yield/day) and [[rice plant]]s ({{Q|Rice plant|Harvest_Yield_Per_Day_(100)}} yield/day) in regular soil. While {{+|{{%|-1+{{Q|Toxipotato plant|Harvest Yield Per Work}}/{{Q|Rice plant|Harvest Yield Per Work}} round 4}}}} better in yield/work than rice, toxipotatoes take {{Bad|x{{%|{{Q|Toxipotato plant|Real Grow Days}} / {{Q|Rice plant|Real Grow Days}}round 3}}}} the time per plant to grow, so are a less reliable crop. If work ''is'' a concern, then regular potatoes ({{+|{{%|-1+{{Q|Potato plant|Harvest Yield Per Work}}/{{Q|Toxipotato plant|Harvest Yield Per Work}} round 4}}}}) or [[corn plant|corn]] ({{+|{{%|-1+{{Q|Corn plant|Harvest Yield Per Work}}/{{Q|Toxipotato plant|Harvest Yield Per Work}} round 4}}}}) are much better options for yield.

Toxipotatoes can be grown on polluted soil, but their abysmal yield in all aspects means that it would take a heavily polluted map, where little clean soil is nearby, to make it feasible. Even then, you could clear out a field to grow more traditional plants in. Cleaning can take a while, so toxipotatoes can be used in the earlier stages of an extremely polluted colony.

The extra [[food poisoning]] chance is negligible, as raw food should always be cooked anyways.

Toxipotatoes have lower market value ({{Icon Small|Silver||{{P|Market Value Base}}}}) than other raw food like rice, corn, potatoes ({{Icon Small|Silver||{{Q|Corn|Market Value Base}}}}) or meat ({{Icon Small|Silver||{{Q|Meat|Market Value Base}}}}). They also last for 60 days without refrigeration. This factors make toxipotatoes an attractive option when buying raw food from traders.
