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

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

    Although fibercorn has a low yield per day compared to other wood-yielding plants, it only requires a skill of "0" (zero) & a light level of 30 to grow, compared to 51 for all other non-mushroom plants, and a skill level of 6 for trees/cacti.

    This allows it to be grown by torch or lamp light, indoors. Yes, without a sun lamp.

    Combining this with its spacing, "low work" (when compared to trees), fertility ratings and soil allowance, fibercorn is in the top tier of wood producing plants, with poplar, oak and cacti.

    Shares third place[By what measure?] with oak trees & Saguaro cacti of all wood producing growable plants. Although required NO research or heightened skill to sow (plant it), unlike trees/cacti.

    Fibercorn are also unique in the respect that they are the only wood-yielding plant that can grow in a hydroponics bay.

    Note that growing it indoors seems to negate its beauty score of 1 when outdoors, to 0 (zero).

    Finally, its area efficiency is the best[By what measure?] all wood producing plants, as its "sow pattern" as every 1x1 spacing, like rice, not every 2x2 spacing, like trees.


    "By what measure", expiation of Aazard's (my) suppositions:

    3rd place

    Aazard: correction, my opinion, on this page, is personal "bias": "3rd place" as in worth growing, when compared #1 poplar, as a tree, and Saguaro cacti, #1 as "not a tree or crop". NOT "pure production" of wood)

    Area efficiency

    Aazard: Area used, per "tile", in hydroponics bay, vs total production of wood amount in "1 full year cycle". I may be incorrect in my math, can you verify?)

    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.
