Healthier food for animals on the big farm

corn -> wheat = chicken feed
cabbage -> berries = pig feed
wheat -> pasture grass = cow feed
lambs lettuce -> clams (with a sprite like rice or similar) = duck feed


Instead of grain, we should be able to grow pasture grass to make feed for our cows

Chickens and pigs and ducks are not herbivores, and neither corn nor cabbage are proper plants for them to diet on, chickens should have access to worm compost (this can be a field crop with an unusual sprite like herrings on the viking farm has an unusual sprite despite being on a field) and proper seed such as bamboo seed, even grain would be better for chickens than for cows. Pigs eat everything from eggs to chickens and rabbits to carp, it wouldn't be possible to balance that, however, and I think berries are an appropriate crop. A "bug crop" for ducks, or we could imagine them to be diving ducks and have an aquaponics crop in the garden of clams or other shellfish.

To make the "chicken crop" worms might be a 'problem' for events that currently ask for corn and would not make sense with worms, but some events already do not make sense with corn, such as making bear feed (?). On the other hand, berries make a lot more sense for that particular task.

All of these suggestions are for new sprites and names, no rework of machinations or numbers necessary. I have lots of other ideas but as this one is relatively non-invasive I'll leave it here for now. I would also just say that animals would like to eat fruits and nuts too, but the current orchard system wont allow for that. Strawberries are among fruit-like crops that could be planted in fields or gardens.

Note: When I first started playing this game, I was actually surprised that "premium feed" was not actually any healthier for the animals than normal feed.


edit: @dchen1 (US1) worms or bugs would not be too complicated, because as I said it is only a name and sprite change, the numbers and machinations would be the same as corn and lambs lettuce are now. (Anyway, I posted what i think is the best choice, at the top).

    The insects and worms would make the game too complicated.  I think it is a good idea to be able to make super feed at the lab using a small amount of a variety of crops from the gourmet and main farm.  The real advantage of premium feed is that storage for it is unlimited.
