In my opinion, it depends on the recipe. If it is a good one, OK to do mission. If the recipe reward is lousy, eg. goat cooked food, which nobody can use, its not worth doing the mission.
I learn from the forum that the technique to plant winter crops is to put fertilizer on last day of autumn and on the first winter freeze, to raise the Cold Resistance to 100% (not sure if it can go above 100%). Your crop will survive the freeze, maybe at a small loss. Ask Pesk for some organic fertilizer. If not available, you can always put chemical fertilizer twice. Although the quality will drop and you don't get 7*, it will most likely meet the mission requirement as mostly it just require 1* or 2* quality. Downside of chemical fertilizer is your land will be polluted and it will decrease at -1 pollution/day. But the crop quality drop due to chemical fertilization will not increase, whatever you do afterwards.
Esamus, thanks for the tips. My wheat crop was planted in winter and I got only 5% crop out of it. But the good thing was that I also got some 7* Organic waste. I am saving it up and will give it a try.
Tami, the end due date is 1st week of March 20 or in 36 turns. So I am assuming there is sufficient time. I will go ahead and plant corn as you suggested and Hopefully I will have a plot of land open by Autumn to plant the Chard. Will message you if I need you to plant it for me.
It is nice to have the recipe but Chard and all those 1-15 degree celsius crop are difficult. I do not think you can make it even with the normal fertilizer but you never know. You could get enough day with the right temp and sunlight. You should go ahead and try it, it dosen't hurt to drop the mission later. It is this learning of how the game work that is fun, at least for me. If you need 3* fertilizer, I can give you.
The end due date is 1st March? It will be a problem... Normally, Winter crops will be harvested in End of March, with a good fertilizer. 7* Organic Waste is not good enough to increase the cold resistance over 100%. You need at least 1 3* OFP (organic Fertilizer Plus +21% cold resistance) and 1 4* OFP (+28%). Cold Resistance will stacked if you fertilize more than one time. Chard is very useful material to make Organic Feed in next update, which is now available on Beta server. So, I think you may try to plant it. If fail for the mission, at least you can use them for livestock.
It's okay to have loss since the mission only requires 40 chard which you can get with 80% loss. What's really important is to harvest by the due date.
I think the best way to be sure you will harvest in time is to plant chard on the last day of summer so you can fertilise 3 times before spring. But this means you can't fertilise your alfalfa this summer.
Well, I will try to have one empty plot of land by that time just in case.
So here is what I plan to do. I will not fertilize my alfalfa for now. will plant Chard in last week of summer and fertilize with OFP if I find some good quality. Will fertilize again end of autumn and before a freeze in winter. I am hoping I will be able to find some better quality OFP or I will stick to my organic waste. Hopefully I will have enough to finish the mission even if I do have loss.
On your page it says it's due in 12 turns. Is that the start date? When is the end date?

Hope this helps.
The reward recipe is a good one: Fermented Beef Sausage. We have all the other fermented sausage recipes except that one.
ReplyDeleteThe only question is the due date. If chard is planted in autumn, the earliest it can be harvested is spring.
Raje, if you don't have enough land I'm willing to grow the chard for your mission. Just let me know.
