'''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 an 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 {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=grain}}}} {{Icon|Grain}}/day into {{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=flour}} {{Icon|Flour}}/day, consuming {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=tools}}}} {{Icon|Tools}}/day in the process. It requires {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=balance|resource=population}}}} workers. The [[Improved Windmill]] is a direct upgrade that maintains the same {{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=rate|resource=flour}} {{Icon|Flour}}/day output while reducing {{Icon|Grain}} consumption to only {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=rate|resource=grain}}}}/day and eliminating the {{Icon|Tools}} cost entirely, making it significantly more efficient.

The [[Bakery]] consumes {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=bakery|data=rate|resource=flour}}}} {{Icon|Flour}}/day to produce {{BuildingData|name=bakery|data=rate|resource=food}} {{Icon|Food}}/day ({{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=bakery|data=balance|resource=population}}}} workers), also requiring {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=bakery|data=rate|resource=tools}}}} {{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.

|}
</div></div>

The [[Improved Windmill]] produces the same amount of {{Icon|Flour}} as the standard [[Windmill]] but requires less {{Icon|Grain}} ({{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=rate|resource=grain}}}} vs {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=grain}}}} per day) and no {{Icon|Tools}}, making it a significant efficiency upgrade. The upgrade costs {{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=cost|resource=scrap}} {{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 {{BuildingData|name=field|data=rate|crop=grain|resource=grain}}/m², the [[Windmill]] converts {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=grain}}}} {{Icon|Grain}}/day into {{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=flour}} {{Icon|Flour}}/day ({{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=balance|resource=population}}}} workers), and the [[Bakery]] converts {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=bakery|data=rate|resource=flour}}}} {{Icon|Flour}}/day into {{BuildingData|name=bakery|data=rate|resource=food}} {{Icon|Food}}/day ({{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=bakery|data=balance|resource=population}}}} workers). A single Windmill can therefore feed two Bakeries, producing {{#expr:2*{{BuildingData|name=bakery|data=rate|resource=food}}}} {{Icon|Food}}/day from {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=windmill|data=rate|resource=grain}}}} {{Icon|Grain}}/day.

</div></div>

The [[Bakery]] is the only building that consumes {{Icon|Flour}}. Its 2:1 conversion ratio ({{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=bakery|data=rate|resource=flour}}}} {{Icon|Flour}} into {{BuildingData|name=bakery|data=rate|resource=food}} {{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 through the [[Market]] (up to {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=market|data=marketStorage}}}} capacity) or the [[Port]] (up to {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=port|data=marketStorage}}}} 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]]. Since the Windmill and Bakery are food-category buildings, they are also affected by food production modifiers.
