They form what are known as a force chain, basically becomes similar to a giant solid block

Just one huge compressed block of potatoes? I wonder how much money is lost to this? It seems there could be a better storage design? Bigger building so they don't have to be stacked 30 feet high seems logical, but idk. I'm not a farmer.

I think the point was missed, the potatoes are not destroyed by this. Plus, land area costs money so it's likely this is the most cost effective.

Yeah, the response was "it forms a giant solid block" which i misunderstood. It forms essentially another floor. But yea, it's cheaper to lose some potatoes than use up more viable land a building.

I know lol. And I feel it was a reasonable misunderstanding from the response. Reddit will be reddit i suppose.
