So, I'm playing a game on Hard, and I decided that my biggest priority is to get fishing, so we don't all die.

The question is: do I get Science 2, hoping it will speed up my sprint to 50,000 points for Farming 3, or should I just press onward? The 12K is a noticible hunk of the 50K, but if the 50K accumulates faster than 1.3x the rate it did with Science 1, it's worth it...

Anyone know? or have practical experience on this one?

You'll have to make the decision based on what your food stocks look like, I think... and depending on how many mouths you have to feed. At Normal and Easy, I don't have too much difficulty getting science first - and then getting the food is a breeze...in fact, most times I get science 3 before food 3... but you really have to make a determination based on what the state of your game is for the Hard version... don't think they're any blanket answers

On hard, don't wait, get farming 3 as fast as your can.

...which brings us back to my question, which is "is it faster to get Science 2 then Farming 3, or to just go straight to Farming 3?"

If a scientist makes 10 points of tech with science 1 in the same time as she makes 14 points of tech with science 2, then it's faster to detour by way of science 2. I haven't accounted for the speed up as scientists get more proficient, or the risk that lack of food will weaken and kill the scientists as we work towards Farming 3. I'm assuming the former is a helpful acceleration at the end of the process and the latter is the point of the exercise.

They will accumulate faster with sci 3, so is that is your question, then yes. On hard level, I'll wait and get sci 2 and 3 until I have farming 3. Safer that way.

i got messing around one night & this is what i found out:

Food & their value:
Berries =2 food points
Veggies =7 food points
Mushrooms 8 food points
Fish =9 food points
Crabs =55 food points



Food & their value i have checked & double checked to make sure that this is the value of each food before i posted it ,so yes that is the true value of each food available on ISOLA VV.
