Sources and Strategies

Biscuits are typical rewards from Orders, including Lost Knowledge which rewards 40 Biscuits, 40 Jerky, 40 Pie, and 1.0 Reputation. Also, there are Orders that require Biscuits. One Order requires Biscuits to be delivered from the settlement's inventory. Another Order requires that a certain number of Villagers be satisfied by their need for Biscuits for 30 seconds. If you don't want the Order to take your Biscuits, be sure you carefully read the text and tooltip.


Biscuits can be acquired from a Trader. They have a value of 0.25 Amber Amber, therefore a stack of 40 is worth 10.0 Amber to the Trader.


Biscuits are common rewards from opening Caches found randomly in the forest. In the cache rewards tooltip, they are called a 'Basket of Biscuits and contain about 30 to 40 biscuits.


Because the recipe for Biscuits contains Flour, they will not be the first food available to your settlement.


Production Chain

The production chain for Biscuits looks like this.

First Ingredient: Flour

Step 1 options:

Step 2 options:


Second Ingredient: Herbs, Berries, or just more Roots

Options:


Bare minimum production

If you need Biscuits without a lot of investment, look here. The simplest and lowest-level access to Biscuits from among the ingredients and Buildings still requires two selected blueprints for production Buildings. Altogether, this setup requires 10 Wood, 3 Parts, 10 Planks, and 4 Fabric for the Camps and Buildings.

  1. A Root Deposit worked by a Scavengers' Camp AND
  2. A Rain Mill, which is slightly cheaper than a Provisioner AND
  3. A Bakery which is cheaper than a Cookhouse

Efficient sustainable production

If you need to sustain Biscuits and want to feel efficient at doing so, look here.

  1. Farm Fields worked by an Herb Garden producing both Roots and Herbs.
  2. The Roots are refined by a Rain Mill into Flour.
  3. A Cookhouse or Bakery combines the Flour and Herbs into Biscuits. Since both are two-star (★★), you can choose based on which other products you need.
