Fibercorn is plant added by the Ideology DLC a way to harvest wood if you disapprove of trees being cut down.

Growing

Ground Type	Gravel	Soil	Rich Soil	Hydroponics
Fertility (%)	70	100	140	280
Real Grow Time (days)^[1]	11.42	11.08	10.65	9.39

↑ Actual days to grow, taking into account rest time.
↑ Per plant, assuming Crop Yield Multiplier of 1.0.
Note that Difficulty settings change the Crop Yield Multiplier.

Light

Most plants typically require at least 51% light to grow.

Decorative Plants typically require at least 30% light to grow. Fibercorn oddly falls into this light requirement.

Most artificial light sources only provide 50% light.

Analysis

Fibercorn is an inefficient source of wood compared to trees, producing only about 19% the wood per day and 76% the wood per work compared to poplar trees. It should be noted that as each tree requires a 2x2 space to grow, a field of fibercorn will produce about 75% the wood per day of an equally-sized grove of poplars.

Despite this, fibercorn has a number of benefits over trees that can make it exceptionally useful in certain situations. It requires no skill or research to plant, and it matures quickly. It can be grown indoors, and unlike most plants can grow under the light of a torch or standing lamp - this similarly means that a field of fibercorn can grow year-round, while a grove of trees will stop growing during particularly hot or cold seasons. On maps with little soil it can be grown in hydroponics basins, though it gains almost none of the fertility bonus. It can be planted in one-row strips when necessary, allowing far more flexibility in field shape. Finally, for certain ideoligions fibercorn provides a reliable source of wood that doesn't incur mood penalties.

Food Production

Unlike actual corn, fibercorn does not yield any human-edible products.

Economy

Fibercorns' raw product is wood, which has a market value of 1.4 silver. The refined product with the largest profit margin is a grand sculpture, having a 51.25%^[1] profit margin.
