'''Food''' is the most critical [[Resources|resource]] in [[Main Page|Project Rebearth]]. Every housing building and the [[Center]] consume {{Icon|Food}} daily to sustain the population, and running out triggers a [[Food Shortage]] event that inflicts a severe {{#expr:({{BuildingData|section=choices|name=foodShortage|data=effects|resource=happiness}}-1)*100 round 0}}% [[Happiness]] penalty. {{Icon|Food}} can be produced directly from [[Field|fields]], [[Fishery|fisheries]], and [[Foraging Hut|foraging huts]], or through processing chains using the [[Bakery]] and [[Creamery]].

[[Field|Fields]] can also grow {{Icon|Grain}} ({{BuildingData|name=field|data=rate|crop=grain|resource=grain|color=yes}}/m² for Grain and Maize styles), which is processed by the [[Windmill]] into {{Icon|Flour}} to feed the [[Bakery]].
== 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|color=yes}}/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). This 2:1 conversion ratio at the Bakery makes it extremely efficient.
=== Creamery chain ===
{{Chain|Milk|Field|Milk|Creamery|Food|title=Creamery Chain}}
The Creamery chain converts {{Icon|Milk}} from animal fields into {{Icon|Food}}. [[Field|Fields]] with goats produce {{BuildingData|name=field|data=rate|crop=goat|resource=milk|color=yes}} {{Icon|Milk}}/m² and fields with cows produce {{BuildingData|name=field|data=rate|crop=cow|resource=milk|color=yes}} {{Icon|Milk}}/m². The [[Creamery]] converts {{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=creamery|data=rate|resource=milk}}}} {{Icon|Milk}}/day into {{BuildingData|name=creamery|data=rate|resource=food}} {{Icon|Food}}/day ({{#expr:0-{{BuildingData|name=creamery|data=balance|resource=population}}}} workers). The 1:1 conversion ratio is less efficient than the Bakery chain, but goat fields also produce {{Icon|Food}} directly alongside {{Icon|Milk}}.

Food is the most critical resource in Project Rebearth. Every housing building and the Center consume The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food daily to sustain the population, and running out triggers a Food Shortage event that inflicts a severe -50% Happiness penalty. The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food can be produced directly from fields, fisheries, and foraging huts, or through processing chains using the Bakery and Creamery.

Production

[edit]

Direct production

Field (Potato) +0.005/m² Direct The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food from farming

Foraging Hut +5/day +5/day +3/day Also gathers The Wood resource icon on Project Rebearth Wood, The Stone resource icon on Project Rebearth Stone, The Earth resource icon on Project Rebearth Earth; 1 worker

Processed production

[edit]
Building The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food Output Input The Tools resource icon on Project Rebearth Tools Cost Workers Notes
Bakery +100/day -50 The Flour resource icon on Project Rebearth Flour/day -0.1/day 2 The Flour resource icon on Project Rebearth Flour to The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food chain
Creamery +50/day -50 The Milk resource icon on Project Rebearth Milk/day -0.1/day 5 The Milk resource icon on Project Rebearth Milk to The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food chain

Fields can also grow The Grain resource icon on Project Rebearth Grain (+0.01/m² for Grain and Maize styles), which is processed by the Windmill into The Flour resource icon on Project Rebearth Flour to feed the Bakery.

Production chains

[edit]

Bakery chain

[edit]
Bakery Chain

The Bakery chain is the most productive way to generate The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food from farming. Fields grow The Grain resource icon on Project Rebearth Grain at +0.01/m², the Windmill converts 100 The Grain resource icon on Project Rebearth Grain/day into 100 The Flour resource icon on Project Rebearth Flour/day (5 workers), and the Bakery converts 50 The Flour resource icon on Project Rebearth Flour/day into 100 The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food/day (2 workers). This 2:1 conversion ratio at the Bakery makes it extremely efficient.

Creamery chain

[edit]
Creamery Chain

The Creamery chain converts The Milk resource icon on Project Rebearth Milk from animal fields into The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food. Fields with goats produce +0.01 The Milk resource icon on Project Rebearth Milk/m² and fields with cows produce +0.005 The Milk resource icon on Project Rebearth Milk/m². The Creamery converts 50 The Milk resource icon on Project Rebearth Milk/day into 50 The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food/day (5 workers). The 1:1 conversion ratio is less efficient than the Bakery chain, but goat fields also produce The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food directly alongside The Milk resource icon on Project Rebearth Milk.

Consumption

[edit]
Building Rate Notes
Center -4/day Starting building (+10 population)
Square -6/day Upgraded Center (+20 population)
Shack -1.5/day Housing upkeep (all biomes)
Hut -1.8/day Housing upkeep (all biomes)
Cabin -2.2/day Housing upkeep (all biomes)
House -3/day Housing upkeep (all biomes)
Residence -3.6/day Housing upkeep (all biomes)
Villa -4/day Housing upkeep (all biomes)
Market Stalls (1-4) -1/day each Produces The Coin resource icon on Project Rebearth Coin (+0.05/day each)

The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food is also consumed when launching Expeditions at a rate of 100 The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food per 1,000 hectares explored.

Storage

[edit]
Building Volume
Center 5,000 (shared with all resources)
Square 10,000 (shared with all resources)
Warehouse 5,000 (shared with all resources)
Fishery 100 (The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food only)
Bakery 100 (The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food and The Flour resource icon on Project Rebearth Flour)
Creamery 100 (The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food only)
Foraging Hut 100 (The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food, The Wood resource icon on Project Rebearth Wood, The Stone resource icon on Project Rebearth Stone, The Earth resource icon on Project Rebearth Earth)

Other sources

[edit]

The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food can be purchased from other players through the Market (up to 1,000 capacity) or the Port (up to 5,000 capacity). Buying The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food through trade is often the fastest way to recover from a Food Shortage, though it requires The Coin resource icon on Project Rebearth Coin.

Running out of The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food triggers the Food Shortage event, which inflicts a -50% Happiness penalty. This can cascade into strikes, further reducing production and making recovery more difficult.

Changelog

[edit]

February 13, 2026

  • Balance Buffed the bread production chain: reduced the population requirement for Windmills and boosted The Food resource icon on Project Rebearth Food output of the Bakery.
