[h2]Greetings, Dwarven Lords![/h2] Today we would like to briefly discuss the food and beverage production in our dwarven settlements. Every dwarf, regardless of their profession, will need to consume a certain number of resources per day. To ensure that our dwarves won't die, we have to provide them with something to eat and something to drink. [h2]Storage[/h2] First of all, the maximum number of resources that we can acquire will depend on our storage capacity. We have to place all the barrels and crates somewhere if we want to avoid the possibility of our food getting spoiled. Such storage is rather easy to set up and requires a small amount of wood and metal to build.

The secret to ensuring yourself a stable source of nutritious food lies in... fungi. Humid mountain corridors and no need for light enable stable cultivation of these organisms. Fungi farm will provide your settlement with a stable source of food, as long as you have enough crates to stock them all.

In theory, it could be water obtained from mountain springs, but beer is both safer to store and, in the unanimous opinion of all the dwarves, simply tastier. Brewery will provide your settlement with a stable source of ale, as long as you have enough barrels to stock it all.

The building is not mandatory but serves many different functions at the same. This one single structure will: [list] [*] Increase the food and drink storage space in your settlement, [*] Increase the prestige of your settlement, [*] Increase the happiness of the dwarves living in your mountain, [*] And even though dwarves can get a basic drink and food at the storage, when they eat in the pub, they need less of the raw drink and food resources to be satisfied. [/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34087519/463e1e9b258137eb298933c615f1b04e6d4c981c.png[/img] To summarize - a well-fed dwarf is a happy dwarf. We hope that you like our concept of basic food production! Let us know what you think about it in the comments. Is a pub really mandatory to have in the mountain settlement? Or not really? Best regards, King of the Dwarves Team
