Critters, plants, and food chains

Food stability means recurring calorie supply, not just a large stockpile. Plants need the right environment; critters need space and feed; cooking needs ingredients, machines, and power.

Plants

Growth can stop because of temperature, pressure, atmosphere, irrigation, fertilizer, light, or burial. Keep farms away from unstable heat and liquids.

Critters

Ranching can produce eggs, meat, and conversion products. Start small, verify inputs and outputs, then scale.

Food

Compare production per cycle with duplicant consumption. A falling stockpile is a warning that production is already below demand.
