| − | Rice plants' daily nutrition | + | Rice plants' daily nutrition is fractionally higher than corn and potatoes (102.7% and 105.4% in regular soil), though rice's greatest strength is its quick growth: the short maturation time makes it ideal for establishing a colony, as an 'emergency' food crop when food runs low, for biomes with short growing seasons, and as a 'last planting' crop when winter is fast approaching. The frequent harvests also mitigate the damage of losing of a crop to blight, cold snap, heat wave, or fire, and provides a steadier flow of nutrition than slower-growing crops. |

While corn gives less nutrition per tile, most colonies can use the extra time to simply plant more tiles of corn, assuming they can afford to. Rice is usually not recommended past the midgame unless the colony is limited by growing space. |

While rice provides significantly more nutrition over time than any other [[hydroponics basin]] crop, it requires a harvest and replant every other day to do so. |
