Archaic used to express regret, surprise, dismay, etc. Origin: a(h) + lack. a·lack

Pray tell, what am I missing? Why would one for one be an improvement over 2 for 1?

I am missing it, too, Grammy. Not sure what is different about the wheat than any other crop...??

Thanks, GS. Two-for-one takes two fields to get one unit of wheat. One-to-one get one unit of wheat per field. And we need SO-O-O-O-O-o-o-o-o much wheat for the many facilities that use it . . .

I am still not understanding what you are saying... I plant a wheat field, I get a wheat in my storage, unless I fertilized and then I get two wheat in my storage for that one wheat field planted. Are you saying you don't?

Maybe they are talking about it taking 10 wheat to produce 5 flour (2:1) and it would be better if it took 5 wheat to produce 5 flour (1:1). Or even better, 5 wheat to produce 10 flour (1:2).

I think what the person meant to say is that it takes two fields of wheat to make one unit of flour (2:1). It would be nice if it only took one field of wheat to make one unit of flour (1:1) - like sugarcane and sugar. It's also the case that it takes two fields of corn to make one unit of corn flour, but more products in the facilities require wheat than corn, so you hear more laments regarding the wheat.

Thought I'd throw in (from someone that grinds her own flour) that the volume actually doubles after grinding. So "realistically" for every one (whatever the unit of the game is) of wheat we should have TWO flours.
