The '''Field''' is a [[Buildings|food production building]] that produces {{Icon|Food}}, {{Icon|Grain}}, {{Icon|Milk}}, or {{Icon|Wool}} depending on its assigned type. Unlike most buildings, the Field is a polygon placed by drawing an area on the map, and all of its costs, production rates, and worker requirements scale with its size in square meters.

== Overview ==
The Field is one of the primary sources of raw food resources in the game. It can be set to one of seven types: Empty, Potato, Grain, Maize, Sheep, Goat, or Cow. Each type determines what the Field produces and how many workers it requires. The Field cannot be built in the [[Arctic Biome|Arctic biome]].

Construction costs '''0.01''' of the [[Biomes|biome's]] primary resource per m². A 10,000 m² field (1 hectare) therefore costs '''100''' {{Icon|Wood}}, {{Icon|Stone}}, or {{Icon|Earth}} depending on the biome. Fields cannot overlap with other Fields, [[Quarry|Quarries]], or [[Claypit|Claypits]], and must maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter from them. An Empty field requires no workers and produces nothing, making it useful only as a reserved area.

=== Crops ===
Crop types include Potato, which produces '''0.005''' {{Icon|Food}} per m² per day, and Grain and Maize, which each produce '''0.01''' {{Icon|Grain}} per m² per day. All three crop types require '''0.001''' workers per m², meaning a 1-hectare crop field needs '''10''' [[Population|workers]]. {{Icon|Grain}} produced by Fields can be processed further through two chains:

{{Chain|Grain|Windmill|Flour|Bakery|Food|title=Bread Chain}}
{{Chain|Grain|Brewery|Drinks|title=Brewing Chain}}

=== Livestock ===
Animal types offer more diverse output. Sheep produce '''0.005''' {{Icon|Food}} and '''0.005''' {{Icon|Wool}} per m² per day, requiring '''0.0006''' workers per m². Goats produce '''0.005''' {{Icon|Food}} and '''0.01''' {{Icon|Milk}} per m² per day with the lowest worker requirement of '''0.0004''' per m². Cows produce '''0.01''' {{Icon|Food}} and '''0.005''' {{Icon|Milk}} per m² per day, requiring '''0.0006''' workers per m².

{{Chain|Wool|Tailor|Clothes|title=Wool Chain}}
{{Chain|Milk|Creamery|Food|title=Dairy Chain}}

Animal field types are unlocked as the player explores more territory. [[Goat]]s become available at '''1 hectare''' of total explored area, [[Sheep]] at '''10 hectares''', and [[Cow]]s at '''100 hectares'''.
