Hospital vs Farm

from GalCiv3 Forums

My initial hospital raises pop by 2, while a farm does +1. Why would you ever build a farm?

I believe the hospital only increases the growth rate, while the farm raises your population cap.

I am pretty sure I am right but if not somebody clue me in. I was building one of each on my planets but I have started building 2 farms instead and looking for growth rate improvement elsewhere.

A hospital gives growth bonuses, and gives +2 levels to adjacent farms, which amounts to +1 food for each farm

A farm gives a base amount of food, and gives +1 level to adjacent farms (+0.5 food per farm)

   Hospitals are also populations buildings, so the farm gives 1 level to the hospital if adjacent, which is 5% growth.

Ok I see. I was just looking at the +1 and +2 Level of Population with up arrows. Thanks for the info. : )
