[[Species]] differ in which of the Complex Foods they want, so you will need to supply more than one type of Complex Food to satisfy all three Species in your settlement. In addition, every Species has more than one Complex Food Need, which means they can get more than one Resolve bonus if you provide enough variety.

Diagram connecting species with the complex foods they need.

Overview

Icon UI CategoryFood.png

Villagers prefer to eat complex food, like Pie Pie, instead of raw food, like Roots Roots. While this need is satisfied, the villager will get a bonus to their Resolve. The bonus to Resolve is higher than satisfying their needs for Housing and Clothing, but not higher than satisfying their Services Needs.

Villagers satisfy their need for complex food when they rest at the Hearths. When resting, they will eat one of every food item available for every complex food that they can satisfy, and the Resolve bonuses from every need they satisfy stack.

Consumption and Satisfaction

Species differ in which of the complex foods they want, so you will need to supply more than one type of complex food to satisfy all three species in your settlement. In addition, every species has more than one complex food need, which means they can get more than one Resolve bonus if you provide enough variety.

On the other hand, if your settlement is running low on food, villagers will eat a complex food that they do not need if there is no other food available to them, including raw food.

Like with raw food and services, access to complex food can be disabled through Consumption Control, and denying a food incurs a Resolve penalty to those villagers who need that particular food.


List of complex foods

Each complex food can satisfy more than one species. Correspondingly, each of the five species require different combinations of the complex foods available. The following table shows these relationships.

The food production building options are shown for convenience.

See the next section for a detailed and highly sortable table of buildings that can help you choose your Blueprints.

Detailed table of all buildings for complex food

This table might help you choose Blueprints based on the species in your settlement.

For brevity and since they are never Blueprint choices, Flawless versions of buildings are omitted from this table. Similarly, because it is an Essential Blueprint that your settlement starts out with, the Field Kitchen is omitted.

Strategies

Based on the species in your settlement, there are obvious choices and options to avoid when seeking to provide complex food. However, most production buildings do not produce only food, so you will also need to take into account producing goods for your villagers' Services Needs.

  • The Cookhouse produces both Skewers Skewers and Biscuits Biscuits, which satisfy the complex food needs for a mutually exclusive set of species. It is the only building that can produce one complex food that satisfies every species.
  • Three buildings produce two complex foods that together can satisfy four out of the five species. The only other building that makes two complex foods is the Butcher, which satisfies only three species with its products, but has a different advantage.
    • The Bakery produces both Biscuits Biscuits and Pie Pie; only Foxes Foxes are not satisfied by something from the Bakery. In addition, Harpies Harpies need both, making this building a great choice for settlements with Harpies.
    • The Beanery produces both Pickled Goods Pickled Goods and Porridge Porridge; only Harpies Harpies are not satisfied by something from the Beanery. In addition, Foxes Foxes need both, making this a great choice for settlements with them.
    • The Cellar produces both Jerky Jerky and Pickled Goods Pickled Goods; only Humans Humans are not satisfied by something from the Cellar. In addition, Lizards Lizards need both, making this a great choice for settlements with them.
  • The Butcher produces both Jerky Jerky and Skewers Skewers, which can use as an ingredient the Jerky it produces. If you have Lizards Lizards in your settlement and either sustain the supply of Jerky or limit the production of Skewers so that you can satisfy both needs, the Butcher can be a great choice.
  • Lizards Lizards are the hardest to completely satisfy with complex foods, since they require four different goods. It is more likely you'll be able to satisfy their Services Needs before you are able to produce all four complex foods they need.
  • Beavers Beavers, in contrast, need only two complex foods. However, no single building produces both Biscuits Biscuits and Pickled Goods Pickled Goods. This means you will always need at least two buildings to produce complex foods if you intend to satisfy all of your villagers' complex food needs.
