Porridge is a Complex Food preferred by Foxes and
Humans. Each of your Villagers of these Species that fulfills their need for Porridge receives a bonus to their Resolve. It is often the easiest Complex Food to produce during early-game, as
Vegetables brought with embarkation can be used to make
Porridge and an early
Small Farm and
Rain Collector can provide ample ingredients.

Rain Collector to produce it in the

- Fertile Soil is improved to a Farm Field.
- Farm Fields worked by a Small Farm produce Grain (★★).
- Farm Fields worked by an Herb Garden produce Roots (★).
Step 2 options:

- A Press refines either or both of the Grain or Roots into Flour (★).
Second Ingredient: Herbs, Berries, or just more Roots
