In Foundation, you have to provide good quality food for your villagers to ensure they stay satisfied, and their happiness level remains high. There are different types of food categories in the game, such as rustic food, refined food, and monastic food. You’ll have to check what type of food your villagers prefer and make sure you have enough to provide for everyone.
Bread is made from wheat, and it is a type of refined food. You can get access to wheat quite early on, and getting it is fairly easy, but setting up a system where you can grow wheat and make bread out of it can take up a fair amount of space in your territories.
How To Grow Wheat
In order to grow wheat, you will first have to purchase the Farming option from the Progression menu. You can purchase the Farming option for 50 gold after you’ve reached at least level ten Progression. Purchasing the Farming option will unlock the following structures:
- Wheat Farm
- Windmill
- Bakery
After that, you have to set up a wheat farm in your territory. Once it’s finished building, you can assign up to three farmers to it. After the construction is finished, you can select the wheat farm to mark the area where your crops will grow.
The game will tell you if the size of the field is too large or too small for the current number of farmers that you have assigned to the Wheat Farm. Once you’ve marked the area, your farmers will start growing wheat there.
You can also purchase wheat from the Myddle Kingdom after unlocking its trade route. This can be an effective alternative if you don’t have the space to spare for a wheat farm.
How To Get Bread
After building a wheat farm and gathering wheat, you’ll need to build a windmill to turn wheat into flour. A windmill turns four units of wheat into a unit of flour, which means that you’ll need to keep up the production of wheat in your village if you want a consistent supply of bread.
Now that you’ve got flour, you have to build a bakery. A bakery consumes three units of flour and one unit of water to produce five pieces of bread. For water, you can build a well near the Bakery and that would be enough for that.
You’ll also have to assign bread to your granary so that the workers at the bakery can store bread there. Furthermore, to feed your villagers, you will have to assign bread to be sold at the market stalls, which will allow the villagers to purchase bread and fulfill their needs.
