'''Flour''' is an intermediate [[Resources|resource]] in [[Main Page|Project Rebearth]], produced by grinding {{Icon|Grain}} at a [[Windmill]]. It is the sole input for the [[Bakery]], which converts it into {{Icon|Food}} at a highly efficient 2:1 ratio. The Grain-to-Flour-to-Food chain is one of the most productive ways to feed large populations.

== Overview ==
The [[Windmill]] converts 100 {{Icon|Grain}}/day into 100 {{Icon|Flour}}/day, consuming 0.1 {{Icon|Tools}}/day in the process. It requires 5 workers. The [[Improved Windmill]] is a direct upgrade that maintains the same 100 {{Icon|Flour}}/day output while reducing {{Icon|Grain}} consumption to only 80/day and eliminating the {{Icon|Tools}} cost entirely, making it significantly more efficient.

The [[Bakery]] consumes 50 {{Icon|Flour}}/day to produce 100 {{Icon|Food}}/day (2 workers), also requiring 0.1 {{Icon|Tools}}/day. This 2:1 conversion ratio means a single Windmill can supply two Bakeries, making the chain extremely space- and worker-efficient for large-scale {{Icon|Food}} production.

{{Icon|Flour}} cannot be used for construction and has no use outside the Bakery chain.

|}

The [[Improved Windmill]] produces the same amount of {{Icon|Flour}} as the standard [[Windmill]] but requires 20% less {{Icon|Grain}} (80 vs 100 per day) and no {{Icon|Tools}}, making it a significant efficiency upgrade. The upgrade costs 100 {{Icon|Scrap}}.

== Production Chains ==
=== Bakery Chain ===
{{Chain|Grain|Field|Grain|Windmill|Flour|Bakery|Food|title=Bakery Chain}}

The Bakery chain is the most productive way to generate {{Icon|Food}} from farming. [[Field|Fields]] grow {{Icon|Grain}} at +0.01/m², the [[Windmill]] converts 100 {{Icon|Grain}}/day into 100 {{Icon|Flour}}/day (5 workers), and the [[Bakery]] converts 50 {{Icon|Flour}}/day into 100 {{Icon|Food}}/day (2 workers). A single Windmill can therefore feed two Bakeries, producing 200 {{Icon|Food}}/day from 100 {{Icon|Grain}}/day.

== Consumption ==

! Building !! {{Icon|Flour}} Rate !! Output !! {{Icon|Tools}} Cost !! Workers !! Notes

|}

The [[Bakery]] is the only building that consumes {{Icon|Flour}}. Its 2:1 conversion ratio (50 {{Icon|Flour}} into 100 {{Icon|Food}}) makes the Bakery chain one of the most efficient {{Icon|Food}} sources in the game.

== Other Sources ==
{{Icon|Flour}} can be purchased from other players or NPC orders through the [[Market]] (up to 1,000 capacity) or the [[Port]] (up to 5,000 capacity). Buying {{Icon|Flour}} directly can be useful when {{Icon|Grain}} supply is limited but Bakeries are available.

{{Icon|Flour}} production is affected by the all production modifier, which applies to every production building in the settlement including the [[Windmill]] and [[Bakery]].
