Raw Food



Raw Food encompasses all food that must be prepared to be filling, but not necessarily edible.

While some raw foods (raw meats, such as steak) are technically edible and will be eaten by Townsfolk who are in desperate need of food, they are not filling and should be prepared before consumption. Consuming raw foods will inflict slow and bellyache effects.

Some raw foods, such as wheat and flour, are completely inedible before preparation.

Raw foods are stored in a raw food stockpile, or a Barrel for raw food if one is available.

Inedibles
Inedibles are ingredients used to make other foods. Even if starving, Townsfolk will not consume them.

Wheat
Wheat is gathered from a fully-grown wheat tile. Two sheafs of wheat can be ground in a Mill to make one flour. One wheat is required to make a wheat seedling to plant a new tile of wheat. When harvested, a wheat tile does not need to be replanted. It will automatically grow again.

Flour
Flour is created by grinding 2 wheat down in a Mill. It is then baked into either Bread, Apple Pies, Pear Pies or Meat Pies.

Sugar
Sugar is created with 2 sugarcane. It can be baked along with flour into a cake.

Raw Meats
Raw Meats are picked up from dead neutral creatures killed by townsfolk or Yeti, and can be harvested from animals when carried to a Butcher Table by a civilian. They can be eaten raw, but do not deplete much hunger, and will additionlly cause the consumer to gain a bellyache and a slow effect for a few seconds.

Each has its own method of cooking: some can be prepared on a Kitchen Table and cooked on a Kitchen Stove or a Cooking Fire, some can be baked with flour into Meat Pies, and some can be combined with other ingredients to make soups & stews. All of which are made via the production menu.

Raw Poultry
