Necesse: A Guide to Nourishing Your Villagers

In Necesse, ensuring your villagers are fed is crucial to their survival. This guide outlines how to efficiently manage their food supply.

Feeding Your Villagers

The core mechanic is simple: place food in chests within your settlements. Once villagers are assigned to those chests as their settlement storage, they'll automatically retrieve and consume food when hungry.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Craft a chest: Create a chest using your crafting menu.
  2. Add food: Place food items inside the chest.
  3. Assign storage: While the chest is open, locate the "settlement storage" option (usually in the top-right corner of the screen). Assign your villagers to this chest.

That's the basic method. However, for a more automated approach:

  1. Establish a cooking area: Designate a cooking area within your settlement.
  2. Assign cooking tasks: Assign villagers to work in the cooking area.
  3. Provide ingredients: Supply the necessary ingredients to your cooking villagers. They will then cook and replenish the food supply in nearby chests.

Optimal Food Choices

Gourmet-tier food items are ideal for villager sustenance. The Blueberry Cake recipe is a cost-effective and early-game option.
