How fuel efficient are strawberrys?

[sfebtyler]

If it takes 40 Potatos to fill a refiner how many will it take to fill it with strawberrys? Would there be an ideal crop to use?

[Sigh-Phi-Guy]

this is something that would be awesome if YOU could do the testing and tell us.

I'm actually in the process of finding out to add to the guide.

Strawberries and "the other new fruit" (won't name in case someone might consider it a spoiler) both grant a small tick of "well fed", like a prepared meal will do.
I wouldn't waste them on fuel. Get chickens and use the eggs for that. Like 5 or 6 eggs for empty-to-full and 3-4 for refills. They work well. 2 chickens (per processor if you have more than 1) will give you enough.
One issue I have with strawberries so far is that the seed drop rate is "1 or less" and I've been having about an 75% 1-seed drop rate. The result is that eventually I will no longer have any seeds to plant. That said, I may just be clueless on how I might get seeds from the fruit (would be thankful if this were the case and someone could enlighten me).
One thing I DID note (before I went back in to harvest more deeper in the structure) was that once I was down to only 2 seeds, I seemed to suddenly get a 100% 1-seed drop for 4 growing cycles. Might have been dumb luck, might have been some code to prevent "strawberry extinction"... not quite sure yet, but almost back down to 2 again, so will find out soon enough.

They released a teaser of “the other new fruit” a while back so I don’t think it’s a spoiler.

Good, I was hoping to avoid some bad "we must ban Nana, because she's so mean" pun or somesuch.

Would you say this is better than milk? Because I have 10 goats on my raft and I use them to keep my well fed buff from draining back to normal hunger bar. If bananas or strawberries are the new meta for the well fed % they give per eat versus a bucket of milk, I might have to switch.

Why not just use shark heads? Only takes two to fill the refiner and Bruce respawns constantly.

Fuel waste: shark heads, eggs (ample and easy supply)

Strawberries and Bananas aren't effective,
nothing interesting about them for now, too much effort, poor rate of return to maintain.
' does not ' add any increment to well fed.


Milk bucket are better, too bad losing the ability to stack 20s full buckets few updates back.
Still too much hassle to drink one by one.

Fish soup and stew, Head broth, catfish deluxe, fruit compost, drumstick jam are still the easier cooked meals for well fed.
