Food is anything Template:L eat to ward off starvation. If dwarves are not able to attain sustenance then they will get hungry, have bad thoughts, and eventually die. Dwarves can withstand hunger for a while in order to continue working, but will gain bad thoughts from doing so.
Dwarves require 2 units of food and 4 units of drink each season.
Eating good food will make your dwarves happy, so a good Template:L is an excellent investment. Also, each dwarf has a Template:L for certain foods. Both starting dwarves and immigrants only have preferences for "dwarven" food (basically underground crops and meat the dwarven caravan brings). They will however gain new favorites if you present them with human and elven products (above ground crops e.g.) If you want a colorful game or need any food you can get, fire away. If however you want to optimize happiness from food but still keep stock menues small and tidy, be cautious about what you trade with caravans. For example, presumably, expensive meat makes your dwarves happier than cheap mule meat, but any plants the elves bring are not more valuable than your own.
Sources
The possible sources of food are Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L and Template:L.
Farming is the most renewable. On maps where they are highly accessible, fishing and hunting can provide large quantities of food quickly, but tend to be less reliable than farming. Butchering animals is often the best option in a pinch.
When starving, dwarves will catch and consume Template:L to survive, resulting in an unhappy thought.
Processes
Some food is inedible raw, and needs processing first. For example:
- Template:L must be rendered (Template:L) into Template:L and then cooked (Template:L)
- Raw Template:L must be Template:L (Template:L)
- Template:L must be either milled into Template:L (Template:L/Template:L), processed to barrels of Template:L (Template:L), or brewed into barrels of Template:L (Template:L) before they can finally be cooked (Template:L)
- Template:L, Template:L and Template:L must be milled into their respective flours and cooked.
- Template:L has to be cooked or turned into Template:L.
- Template:L has to be pressed into Template:L (Template:L)
- Template:Ls have to be cooked (Template:L)
- Template:Les must be processed to bag in a Template:L.
Unprocessed food and non-food Template:L will be stored in a food stockpile and take up barrel space; the Template:L can tell you how much of each type of "food" you have in the Template:L screen.
Template:L are edible without cooking.
