Editing Cow (section)

== Overview ==

A cow field produces '''0.01''' {{Icon|Food}} and '''0.005''' {{Icon|Milk}} per m² per day. At 1 hectare (10,000 m²), this amounts to '''100''' {{Icon|Food}} and '''50''' {{Icon|Milk}} per day. Cow fields require '''0.0006''' workers per m², meaning a 1-hectare field needs '''6''' workers, the same as a [[Sheep]] field but more than a [[Goat]] field (which requires only '''4''' workers per hectare).

Compared to other animal types, cows are the most food-efficient option. They produce double the {{Icon|Food}} of sheep and goats (+0.01 vs +0.005 per m²/day), while their {{Icon|Milk}} output is half that of goats (+0.005 vs +0.01 per m²/day). This makes cow fields particularly suited for settlements that prioritize raw {{Icon|Food}} production alongside a moderate {{Icon|Milk}} supply.

Like all fields, cow fields are polygon-type buildings drawn directly on the map. Construction costs '''0.01''' of the biome's primary resource per m²: {{Icon|Wood}} in the [[Wood Biome]], {{Icon|Stone}} in the [[Stone Biome]], and {{Icon|Earth}} in the [[Earth Biome]]. A 1-hectare cow field therefore costs '''100''' of the biome resource. Cow fields are not available in the [[Arctic Biome]].

Fields cannot overlap with other [[Field]]s, [[Quarry|Quarries]], or [[Claypit]]s and must maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter from them.
