The best fuels are sapling roots and grass roots in winter
1. The problem of the number of whole pictures.
Although roots are non-renewable resources, you can see: This is my newly opened random default map, and you can see the number of roots in the entire map.
And only when hunting dogs come in winter and summer, the roots will be burned. One root a night is completely enough. Therefore, I personally think that although the roots are non-renewable, due to their large quantity and easy acquisition, there is no shortage problem at all, and this shortcoming can be ignored.
2. Combustion value problem
This point can reflect the superiority of the root. The burning time is 360S and the initial fire volume is the maximum. This is only comparable to wooden boards, piranha seeds, spider egg wood armor, etc.
Wooden board: 4 pieces of wood combined into 1 board, the time of chopping down the tree + synthesising is much longer than the time of obtaining 1 wood, I personally think that only this point of wood can completely explode the wood board.
Piranha seeds, spider eggs, and wood armor have obvious disadvantages compared to roots and wooden boards, so I won’t explain them one by one.
3. Stacking quantity
Although this root has no obvious advantage, 10 roots in a stack can cope with survival for 10 nights in winter, and there is no particular disadvantage.
Summer pinecones
1. Quantity issue.
Needless to say, the tree coverage area of the entire map is definitely more than 50%, and the amount of pine cones obtained is definitely indispensable.
2. Combustion value problem
are discussed here are about the situation in summer.
I feel that the nights in the famine summer are quite short. As long as you wait quietly, it will be daytime in a while. There is no need to make the fire very bright. So I personally feel that as long as you burn 3-5 pine cones every night, you can get through it.
3. Stacking quantity
I won’t talk about this anymore, everyone knows that 40 stacks is the highest.
Disadvantages of other fuels
1. Cow hair
The burning value of cow hair can only be said to be average, and it is not particularly easy to obtain (you need to find a larger herd of cattle). I have to wait a long time after shaving before shaving again, which I personally feel is too slow. And you also need to consider the potential dangers of cattle in heat.
2.Poop
The burning value of poop can only be said to be average, similar to that of cow hair. The only way to obtain it is to pick up cow dung and feed pigs and people food.
As for the cows, there are more of them first, so that the quantity of poop is guaranteed, and the process of picking up dung is extremely boring. You can basically do nothing, feed the pigs, and I think this is a waste. It takes only 1 poop to grow vegetables, and there is a cooling time. A group of poop requires 20 vegetables and 20 pigs to get it quickly, and the efficiency is too slow.
Comparison between wooden boards and grass roots and seedling roots
Please note that this person’s point of view is that the wooden board can completely explode the roots. In other words, it can be understood that wooden boards have considerable advantages over roots, which I strongly disagree with.
My opinion is that boards and roots are both excellent fuels, but roots have obvious advantages in terms of difficulty in obtaining and saving time and labor costs.
First, let’s talk about the similarities and differences between the two:
Wooden planks: Burn for 360S, stack 10, renewable. It needs to be chopped down and synthesized with 4 pieces of wood.
Root: Burns for 360S, stacks 10, non-renewable. Need to be scooped up with a shovel.
You can obviously see that there is no difference between the two in terms of burning effect and stacking.
In other words, the only aspects that need to be compared are whether they are renewable, acquisition time, difficulty of acquisition, and cost.
1. Whether it is renewable.
I admit that roots cannot be regenerated. This is an objective fact and it is true. But we also need to analyze the specific situation in detail.
“ If you are about to starve to death and see fruits on a tall tree, it is also an objective fact that there are fruits on the trees. But does it work? You can't pick it. At this time, objective facts do not apply to the actual situation,
Let’s look at the root situation. Roots cannot regenerate. But are there many roots in the whole graph? Yes. Is it easy to get? Yes.
Can the roots on the map last until most players feel tired of this map? Do you dare to say no?
At this time, the root can be approximately regarded as an infinite resource. It is non-renewable and there is no need to discuss it at all.
Why should we discuss reproducibility? Because non-renewable resources may run out. Is it possible that the root will be used up within a long period of time? impossible.
2. Other factors.
First of all, if you hire pigs to cut down trees and make wooden boards in a dense forest, it is indeed more efficient than digging roots yourself. I admit this.
But, have you ever thought about it? You are collecting various necessary materials, making dense forests, building pig houses, and lightning rods at the same time. I have already started collecting roots. And most players will not make night the same as day.
To summarize, in the later stage, after you build various facilities, the time to obtain wooden boards is shorter than that of roots. I agree with this. However, throughout the early stages. Can you achieve mass production of wooden boards before the first winter? Can the wooden boards meet your early needs? Obviously not. And what about digging the roots? As long as you have two books and a shovel, you can get roots at any time and anywhere.
There are certain advantages.
