3 Coal, 1 Wood Chopings, 5 Coal, 100 Lime

Times 32 fields...

You can make some decent money that way but it takes a lot of work. It's lower risk than cricket hunting though (and less bothersome in my opinion).

Personally (I'm not trying to make a fortune) I put 3 humus on, wood chips and then enough humus to get the plenty up to 181% (this will give the 10 cotton for a sheet). You have to have something to produce all the humus, I find corn is one of the easiest for that, but pumpkins give the best returns. Failing that foraging helps.

Like I say, this isn't the best method, its slower than using coal, but its the laid back approach that decides it for me.

Credit goes to Russians and Usernm

100 lime = 843 plenty % without bonus'

That's a little extreme. Again I don't understand people who put so much effort into everything on their base EXCEPT braziers. 100 lime is enough to smelt about 16 iron bars or so which equals 4 braziers.

You'll start to see some big diminishing returns around 24-48 lime.
