Managing The Food Supply

Jamie's Food Tips: The Banished have to eat!
by Jamie Ramsey of the Banished Nation Guild

1. One of the contributors to your Banished settlers health and happiness is a balanced diet. It is best to have a mixture of many food types. So don't just plant endless fields of taters!

2. Crops grow at different rates. Beans are the fastest growing!

3. Frosts during the Autumn and Winter will damage/destroy unharvested crops so make sure that you have enough farmers to clear those fields before Jack Frost takes his share of your crops!

4. Some crops are more effected by frost than others. It appears that squash are hardier!

5. Farms are the most efficient food producers, but hunters, gathers, fishermen provide food year round instead of just at harvest time.

6. Except to add variety to your Banished diet chickens are worthless. Sheep and Cattle not only provide food, but leather and wool!

7. The leather and wool from your pastures can be used for Warm Coats, which make excellent trade goods. Beef and Mutton can also be traded for 3 times the food ie 1 Mutton = 3 Wheat at the trade port!

8. Always have a food surplus. The more the better.
