Analysis
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: given the staying power is the misconception re growing them as animal feed, a more detailed analysis with numbers is required. |
Dandelions are modestly beautiful, and they can be grown indoors. While they provide comparatively little beauty per plant, each dandelion lasts for 20 days, which cuts down on work. If you have a big room with a dirt floor and open roof, they can be viable for raising the rooms beauty. In smaller rooms, the higher beauty per tile of roses or daylilies will be preferred.
Dandelions can also be used as quick-growing feed for grazing animals. However, unless food is urgently needed, growing and harvesting crop plants such as corn and haygrass are far more work efficient.
