Hot sauce is useless?

[Twogs]

Hello everyone,

is it just me or is hot sauce a completely useless, actually even damaging, good?

It costs more money to produce than you get out of it from the consumption, it takes a lot of space (as the production rate is so low) and you don't even get workforce out of it. (One line with a farm and two hot sauce breweries can supply 20 Jornalero quarters, giving 80 workforce while costing 70).

So until way later in the game where you could boost it massively with items and oil, I don't see why I should ever bother producing it. Is it just there as a newbie trap?

Hacienda quarters are not worth it overall, their consumption rates are absurdly high and trying to keep up with all of their needs is not worth the meager benefits they offer

Influence farming is all they're good for

You can also supply the sauce as a lifestyle need to workers, explorers, and shepherds.

season 4 is really not well balanced at all, sadly. So much so there is a huge and amazing mod Called Wholesome Hacienda haul that overhauls the whole Seeds of Change DLC because of issues like that.

But regardless of mods, I like the challenge of supplying hot sauce to the other population tiers like workers in old world, sheperds in enbesa and explorer in the arctic

WRONG...

They are insanely good... and worth every penny!

game is well balanced once you learn how to play money is not an issue pretty early on... only hard thing in the game is collecting all the rares, everything else is easy.

never use hacienda quarters, only use farms and breweries/production. I supplied 20K investors and relative productions and lower tiers in the old world with 2 new world islands on hacienda production and normal cities, I built the dam and stadium in the new world too while at it
