Preferability

Raw

Potatoes are a vegetable raw food obtained by harvesting potato plants. Potato plants are insensitive to soil fertility.

Acquisition

Potatoes are harvested from potato plants. Each plant requires 10.71 full days at optimal light and temperature range to reach maturity in normal, 100% fertile soil and yields 11 units per plant, before modifiers for Difficulty and Plant Harvest Yield.

Summary

As a raw food, potatoes can be be eaten raw, with a flat 2% chance of giving food poisoning, or cooked into a meal with a food poisoning chance dependent on the skill of the cook and the cleanliness of the kitchen. 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 meals, potatoes are classified as a vegetable.

As with most raw food, eating potatoes directly results in a −7 Ate raw food mood for 1 day. This mood penalty is negated if the pawn has the ascetic trait or the robust digestion gene.

Analysis

With a mere 30 days, potatoes have the second lowest shelf life out of all farmable vegetables, only beating the 14 days of berries. However, this is only relevant if a freezer is not available and there is no use for potatoes on the medium term.

With a Nutrition of 0.05 per unit and a deterioration rate of 6, there is no difference with other raw vegetables for the purpose of cooking meals. While direct consumption is possible, this is inefficient from a nutrition point of view compared to cooking a simple meal even without considering the mood penalty and food poisoning chance.

Feeding potatoes to herbivores and omnivores has no ill effects, but is inefficient in terms of work per nutrition compared to farming haygrass or making kibble.
