In Necesse, keeping your villagers fed is crucial for their survival. This guide outlines how to ensure your settlers have access to food.
Feeding Your Villagers
The core mechanic is simple: place food in chests within your settlements. Once villagers are assigned to these chests as their designated storage, they'll automatically retrieve and consume food when hungry.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Craft a chest: Create a chest using your crafting menu.
- Add food: Place food items inside the chest.
- Assign storage: Open the settlement menu (usually accessed via a button in the upper right corner). Select the chest and assign your villagers to it as their settlement storage.
That's it! Hungry villagers will automatically go to the chest to eat.
Automating Food Supply
For a more efficient approach, establish a dedicated cooking area within your settlement:
- Cooking Area: Designate an area for cooking.
- Chests: Place chests in this area to serve as storage.
- Assign Work: In the settlement menu, assign villagers to cooking and the designated storage chests.
This automates the process. You simply provide the raw ingredients, and your villagers will cook and feed themselves.
Optimal Food Choices
Gourmet-tier food items are the most efficient. The Blueberry Cake recipe is inexpensive and readily available early in the game, making it an excellent starting option.
