Confused: what part of 'tile attribute' is unclear to you? oh, right, every part. Read article carefully and do some actual experiments

-A 5x5 plot should be enough to feed a starting fortress; 5x10 should be enough to feed a full fortress. Make sure to have at least one dedicated grower, as planting skill significantly impacts output. Much smaller plots can serve smaller forts, and if you supplement them with {{L|herbalist|plant gathering}}, {{L|hunting}}, {{L|fishing}}, or {{L|trade|trading}} they can become smaller to the point of non-existence.
