== Overview ==
This is a [[:Category:Strategies|strategy]] article that pulls together data from many other articles, augmenting that with actual gameplay measurements, to provide guidance on how effective the various food sources can be. You can then use this knowledge to develop your own strategy with respect to what food sources you will use at the various stages of your settlement's life.
This article does ''not'' tell you ''how'' to produce any food, only how effective each food source is.
{{Warning|The actually gameplay measurements used in this article were gathered from a v0.9.0a [[Pioneer]] difficulty, [[Idyllic Valley]] map world, and should be considered '''best case scenario'''.}}
== Basic concepts ==
{{related|Food security, variety, and reliability}}
{{related|Farming}}
{{related|Spoilage}}
{{related|Maladies}}
{{related|Items Data}}
It takes 24 food items to feed a single [[Villager]] each year. That food needs to be varied to avoid various [[Maladies]]. Some food is seasonal, i.e. can only be obtained in certain months of the year. The villagers should really be provided with food ''throughout'' the year, so seasonality matters but ''can'' be mitigated to varying degrees by smoking, preserving and upgrading storage (and even when you schedule the harvesting of [[Crops]]).
{{Warning|You cannot directly control which food villagers eat, i.e. they will consume foods in a random order despite its shelf-life refusing to prioritize eating those foods that spoil sooner first.}}
{{Tip|This article does ''not'' discuss ''buying'' food from [[Traveling Merchants]], which is an additional option that becomes available to you once you build a [[Trading Post]] and accrue [[Gold]]. It is conceivable that a [[Settlement]] need not produce its own food at all (only ''buying'' food) once ''you have reached this point in the game''.}}
== Hunters ==
Line 11 ⟶ 29:
Initially:
: Deer: 56 meat, 1 pelt, 1, tallow
Upgraded ([[Hunter Lodge]]) ''additionally'':
: Small game: 24 meat, 1 pelt
<mark>Maximum meat per year??? Seen so far: 384</mark>

== Barns ==
A [[Large Barn]] (an upgraded [[Barn]]) with herd 99% healthy, fodder quality of 84% (and food stores of 872/480) and 20/20 [[Cows]] and all 12 workers (with 60% travel time) all fenced in, annually yields:
* [[Meat]]: 1020 (courtesy of the three cows born per year that facilitate three getting slaughtered)
* [[Pelts]]: 9 (from three slaughtered cows)
* [[Tallow]]: 12 (from three slaughtered cows)
* [[Milk]]: 899
Remember that it takes one milk to make one [[Cheese]].

== Arborist ==
Two workers, 35% travel time, "very good" fertility, >20 years old, all fenced in, 24 peach trees, 11 pear, 11 apple:
{{Note|The annual yield is tricky to capture because there are multiple harvests per year and fruit is consumed ''in parallel'' with harvests. The number ''could'' be much higher. Furthermore, the [[Annual Report]] shows ''twice'' as much fruit consumed as produced, i.e. 1000 vs. 500!}}

<sup>1</sup> The soil bonus percentage is that shown with respect to the soil mixture in the crop field dialog.
<br /><sup>2</sup> The nominal yield is the default, without any bonuses or penalties.
<br /><sup>3</sup> Different (but very similar) nearby field: 12×12, 98% fertility, 0% weed level, 0% rockiness, neutral soil mixture. Flax was included in the above table (despite not being a food) simply because the data was available.
== How many villagers can you feed? ==
=== Villagers per food source ===
Taking all of the metrics in the previous sections, this is how many villagers you can feed with a ''single'' food source:

You can also create as many different (or identical) crop fields as you want.}}
=== Feeding 132 villagers ===
So, in summary, to feed 132 villagers:
