Please read the old thread that I linked. Blackroot has no other use then producing blackroot_flour. so there is no sense in not turning all blackroot into blackroot_flour, if it does not cost precious time needed to produce cornmeal.

Then, if I understood it correctly, if I set the corn flour to infinity, blackroot flour will never be produced (unless it's needed or if I run out of corn). Is that right? Thanks. Top Quote

Wouldn't it be better to allow setting a target for blackroot flour after all? Time is not more precious for cornmeal than blackroot flour, because exactly the same amount is required from both.

I doubt it makes sense, cause corn is needed for spiders and horses as well. Especially when train ing really starts suddenly a lot of silk is needed and even a big pile of corn might be shrinking rapidly. So instead of piling up cornmeal it would be better to pile up corn to be prepared for all demands. And with a reasonable setting of cornmeal no problem should arise with blackroot. the only thing might be to explain this a bit better, that the setting of cornmeal is linked to some extent with blackroot.
