Food
From Project Rebearth
Food is the most critical resource in Project Rebearth. Every housing building and the Center consume 
Food daily to sustain the population, and running out triggers a Food Shortage event that inflicts a severe -50% Happiness penalty. Food can be produced directly from fields, fisheries, and foraging huts, or through processing chains using the Bakery and Creamery.
Production
Direct Production
| Building | Wood | Stone | Earth | Arctic | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Field (Potato) | +0.005/m² | Direct Food from farming
| |||
| Field (Sheep) | +0.005/m² | Also produces  Wool (+0.005/m²)
| |||
| Field (Goat) | +0.005/m² | Also produces  Milk (+0.01/m²)
| |||
| Field (Cow) | +0.01/m² | Also produces Milk (+0.005/m²)
| |||
| Fishery | +5 | Coastal only; 1 worker | |||
| Boat | +3 | Child of Fishery/Pier; 1 worker | |||
| Foraging Hut | +5 | +5 | +3 | — | Also gathers  Wood,  Stone,  Earth; 1 worker

Processed Production
| Building | Food Output |
Input |  Tools Cost |
Workers | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bakery | +100/day | -50  Flour/day |
-0.1/day | 2 | Flour → Food chain
|
| Creamery | +50/day | -50 Milk/day |
-0.1/day | 5 | Milk → Food chain
|
Fields can also grow 
Grain (+0.01/m² for Grain and Maize styles), which is processed by the Windmill into Flour to feed the Bakery.
Production Chains
Bakery Chain
The Bakery chain is the most productive way to generate Food from farming. Fields grow Grain at +0.01/m², the Windmill converts 100 Grain/day into 100 Flour/day (5 workers), and the Bakery converts 50 Flour/day into 100 Food/day (2 workers). This 2:1 conversion ratio at the Bakery makes it extremely efficient.
Creamery Chain
The Creamery chain converts Milk from animal fields into Food. Fields with goats produce +0.01 Milk/m² and fields with cows produce +0.005 Milk/m². The Creamery converts 50 Milk/day into 50 Food/day (5 workers). The 1:1 conversion ratio is less efficient than the Bakery chain, but goat fields also produce Food directly alongside Milk.
Consumption
| 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 | -2/day | Housing upkeep (all biomes) |
| Cabin | -2.5/day | Housing upkeep (all biomes) |
| House | -4/day | Housing upkeep (all biomes) |
| Residence | -5/day | Housing upkeep (all biomes) |
| Villa | -6/day | Housing upkeep (all biomes) |
| Market Stall 1–4 | -1/day each | Produces  Coin (+0.05/day each)
|
Food is also consumed when launching Expeditions at a rate of 100 Food per 1,000 hectares explored.
Storage
| 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 ( Food only)
|
| Bakery | 100 ( Food and Flour)
|
| Creamery | 100 ( Food only)
|
| Foraging Hut | 100 ( Food, Wood, Stone, Earth)

Other Sources
Food 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 Food through trade is often the fastest way to recover from a Food Shortage, though it requires Coin.

Running out of 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.
