I have decided on honey as an all year round supply of sugar, at least until a group of explorers finds a plant they can grind up into sugar or some other way to get sugar.
Here is my logic on this:
If 1 person goes to find honey both allergy chance and honey gathering chance are low.
If 10 people go to find honey allergy chance is still low but honey gathering chance is high.
Here are graphs that can show how fast both of these chances go:
Honey gathering chance:
Allergy chance:
The allergy chance goes up so slowly, it is essentially linear. The honey gathering chance however goes up really fast and is clearly exponential.
Here is more of my logic:
If 1 person gets allergies, no big deal.
If 10 people get allergies, significant in such a low population as 105.
If 10 people together get honey, yay.
If 1 person itself gets honey, amazing.
So I figured that 10 is a good number to send out for honey gathering.
This way allergy chance is minimized while honey gathering chance is still high.
At least 1 person will be mapping the path and surroundings.
But is my logic right? If not, what is wrong with it? If yes than yay.
