How to Get More Food

List of Food Tips



Construct Food Districts on Fertile Soil

In order to get and output more Food, you have to look for Fertile Soil nodes (leaf icon) around your area and establish a Food District. Try to cover multiple nodes to maximize your productivity and allow the district to last longer.

Keep in mind that having Housing Districts near Food Districts will provide +20 Heat so try to place them next to each other.

Send Out Scouts for Other Food Sources

Send Out Scouts for Other Food Sources

Once you have a Logistics District set up, you can send these scouts to look for Harvesting Areas in the open world. These areas provide tons of food and is the perfect alternative once your Food Districts have been exhausted.
