'''Rice plants''' grow faster, but provide less food per harvest, than any other crop. Each plant has a base maturation time of 3 days (or 5.54 days when accounting for nightly resting period) and provides 6 rice per harvest.

==Comparison to Other Crops==

Rice Plants' daily nutrition is slightly higher than corn (102.7%) and potatoes (105.4%, in regular soil), however rice's greatest strength is its quick growth: the short maturation time makes it ideal for establishing a colony, as an 'emergency' food crop when food runs low, for biomes with short growing seasons, and as a 'last planting' crop when winter is fast approaching. The frequent harvests also mitigate the damage of losing of a crop to blight, cold snap, heat wave, or fire, and provides a steadier flow of nutrition than slower-growing crops. However, it also means rice requires far more labour to reap and sow for the same nutrition compared to potatoes (183%) and especially corn (366%), and for this reason it is not usually recommended as the primary foodsource past midgame unless you have an excess of farmers without work to do.

While (despite common misconception) rice is no more affected by soil fertility than corn, the innate strengths and weaknesses of its short harvest cycles are magnified by higher fertility. It also provides significantly more nutrition over time than any other [[hydroponic basin]] crop, but requires a harvest and replant every other day.
