Holy- Calen! You are so fast my guy!! :D

Kozrek

I'm back with Update 3 and I'm excited to see that my favourite author is still here making blueprint's. :)

Calen

@Skellitor301 - Yep! I'm trying! @Kozrek - Glad you're back! And thanks! I also just released the Early Hub. Next up: a revamped Early Foundry and the Early Refinery. Then the Early Farm group will round out my Early series blueprints. Then I'll move on to updating my big boy blueprints.

Kozrek

Sounds great, I've holiday from 26th may on, much time then. :)

Glad to see you back in action Calen, Can't wait to see the updates to the larger BP's. Been using yours ever since i found them, i'm still trying to figure out the transport system together to get it functioning properly lol

But at the early game, it’s more profitable to practice crop rotation with potatoes and vegetables — both have higher yields. What’s the point on individual plantations?
