And Jacket Potatoes
I wish for another cool weather food!

The one problem, is that potatoes are overpowered. And then you would dedicate production to them, and if a bad growing season hits you get a potato famine and die. Devs would need to nerf to potato from its real life counterparts for game balance.

I love that irl potatoes are OP 😂 @wind oar

If the concerns for OP potatoes can be addressed, this'd be a good option for a new crop, since cold weather crops really are rather limited at the moment.

Po-Tay-Toes.
Boil 'em.
Mash 'em.
Stick 'em in a stew.
Feed 'em to Onbu

tomatoes and potatoes are from the same family too, so it would be on track with our current crops!
and after doing the cold weather starter challenge i definitely agree that cold weather tolerant crops are in dire need.
potato gnocchi for simple cooked dish?

or mabye if potatos are too op, some other wegetable? i like concept of growing potatos, but i see they could be too op, so it could be other cold-loving wegetable, like cabbage?

you can stil make stuff with different range and different water consumption
like potatos ok but 3 water for one
or potatoes but only in rly cold and 1 water, something oposite to corn,

Boosting cold weather potatoes
You could balance it by making them growing ONLY in the cold (bottom two or three ticks) as the cold weather version of corn

Ok Idea, the farther you get from cold the more likely to get poisonous potatos
Like, I live in California and have a garden it's 109 and my potatoes are doing fine, now the kale, I'm convinced it has reached immortality, hasn't rain in 2 months, haven't watered it since last year cause I don't like kale, way did I plant it you ask, I didn't It's coming out of the compost...

Sure, but I mean the game isn't realistic when it comes to temperature tolerances. I live in the corn belt and while summer corn is most common, you can overwinter corn to make spring corn, and it would 100% survive in the wetter conditions of the jungle or the semiarid ocean biome. It's all for balance

My idea for nerfing potatoes while keeping some aspects to them might be like, making them grow easily but you would need a lot of them in recipes for higher quality recipes
Essentially, they'd be good for low quality meals but not very efficient for kitchens, kind of like mushroom stew is

I can see potatoes only being eaten when cooked (as real ones) and needing potatoes to begin planting them so making it hard early as you need to be able to have some stock before going full on it and making sure your kitchen don't use them all, so putting a limitation on them in the kitchen or storage for when to cook or not ?

I like the idea that they'd not be consumable without recipes
You don't really just crunch a raw potato after all

You don't really just crunch a raw potato after all
I've watched a person do just that - plucked it from the ground, brushed off the dirt, and nommed. It was weird and uncomfortable 😅

Well that and if eaten raw it's poisonous

I’ve eaten raw potato. It’s delicious, especially with salt.

I vote for the potato

Raw potatoes aren’t poisonous, but potatoes do become poisonous if left in the sun.
