Science FTW - Wheat Farm Time Lapse

After the wheat farm informational video, a few questions came up about which was more efficient, planting in rows, or all available farmland. Since the growth_rate is only divided by 2, it seems like it would only take a LITTLE longer.... or maybe a lot?

This video builds on the principles explained here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uadai7C1Das

What about melons and pumpkins?

[MrPixelTech]

@thegamemaster800 They'll be coming up in the next week.

[MrTiago1975]

AGAIN ?? always nice to see your videos

[MrPixelTech]

@MrTiago1975 Thanks :) I'll probably include the other test as a backdrop for tomorrow's pixelnation.

[SuperStishious]

Thanks for shoutout. in a few hours my video views tripled XD <3's

[MrPixelTech]

@LandMuffin ROFL :D, at 12x speed, they sure do :P

[ZomBiEsaTTAcK62870]

so north and south decrease production time while 2x2 squares increase production rate.

[terminado]

Fuck, his voice is like notch voice that's amazing.

[40880472]

1 dislike against 138 is a bit silly...

[bumblur]

You had me at hello, just kidding. I was already convinced from when I put your theory to the test after seeing the previous video.  It was immediately noticeably faster! The tradeoff of land versus production per acre is worth it. I harvested and had food on hand and new crop growing in no time, very helpful in survival SMP which is how I play. The time lapse confirmed my observations. Great job!

[TheBlueFlex]

So...practically, you're still better planting crops in full rather than leaving a space between rows of corps if you're not interested in them all being fully grown right?

[jyrbian]

Is the check for North and South, or is it North or South?

If it's and, why not run your rows east to west and have them two blocks by x length.

For example: X = wheat O = Farmland and the top being North?

OOOOOOOO

@JDingDong8 I agree that statistic would have been useful. But also when you're talking about efficiency the number of seeds planted/number of seeds & wheat returned is also a factor. The row system clearly was better in that regard.

[Temporarily9]

Again. Also, if you're expanding, don't forget tree farms. Sapling vs. wood production, etc.

[JDingDong8]

@SimplyGebus actually, disregard that previous reply's reasoning, I decided after some thought that it was a bit flawed, and sounded a bit too much like a hater.
