== Overview ==

{{Species link|Humans}} are an adaptable species, but very susceptible to the rain. The are adept at {{Specialization link|Farming}} and really enjoy {{Specialization link|Brewing}}. 

Their [[Starting Ability]] is to reveal the nearest patch of [[Fertile Soil]]. Humans have a base [[Resolve]] of 15, with a [[Break]] interval of 02:00 minutes. Their [[Resilience]] is listed as Low, and their [[Demand]], along with {{species link|Beavers}}', is the highest at 30. With a [[Decadence]] level of 4 and a [[Hunger Tolerance]] of 6, Humans are one of the last to leave and make for a stable [[species]].

== Consumption and Satisfaction ==

Like all [[species]], Humans need to fulfill [[Complex Needs]] to start generating [[Reputation]]. The more [[Complex Needs]] you fulfill, the higher their Resolve will go, up to a maximum of 50. With the exception of the [[Housing Need]]s, every need fulfilled grants an additional effect, like {{rl|Porridge}}'s increased double production chance.

== Cornerstones and Perks ==

{{Perks|description=Human}}

== Strategy ==
* Counterintuitively, the Human starting ability to reveal [[Fertile Soil]] has the largest impact on maps that discourage farming like the [[Marshlands]] and [[Rocky Ravine]], and no impact on the [[Bamboo Flats]], which centralizes farming as the main Biome mechanic.
** Since Fertile Soil is rare in the Marshlands and Rocky Ravine, the ability to reveal Fertile Soil can enable farming Blueprint picks when they would otherwise be unwise choices.
** The Bamboo Flats contains no Fertile Soil at all, so the reveal Fertile Soil ability has no effect there. Additionally, since the Bamboo Flats grants increased Farm production bonuses based on how much Fertilizer has been generated, the +10% bonus that Human farmers get is quickly made negligible in comparison.
** Similarly, the '''Barren Lands''' [[World Map modifier]] removes Fertile Soil from the Map and also '''disables Farms and Fertile Soil buildings completely''', making the Human proficiency bonus irrelevant.
* Humans have the highest base Resolve of any species, allowing them to weather the Storm more easily than other species in early years.
** This enables strategies like favoring vulnerable species during the storm, as Humans may be able to withstand the -5 Resolve penalty without dropping to 0 Resolve.
* Since early [[Impatience]] can help reduce [[Hostility]] to manageable levels, the Human Firekeeper ability is very situational and can even harm your progress towards victory.
** The best time to use a Human Firekeeper is when you know in advance that high Impatience will become a problem. Modifiers like '''Sparkdew Crystals''' and '''Land of Greed''' can quickly cause failed settlements if not managed correctly. Strategies that revolve around killing or exiling your own villagers can also quickly cause Impatience to build up.

== Trivia ==
[[File:HumanGroup.png|100px|left|alt=A Group of Humans]]
* There is a Human [[Trader]] named [[Sahilda]].
* Humans have two skins, with one skin having black detail on a smaller coat and black shoes, and the other featuring a burlier coat and white shoes.
* They also have two voice pitches, high and low.
* When assigned to {{bl|Herb Garden|medium}}, {{bl|Homestead|medium}}, {{bl|Plantation|medium}}, {{bl|Small Farm|medium}}, or {{bl|Brineworks|medium}}, Humans' {{Specialization link|Farming}} double production bonus applies during planting in [[Drizzle Season]], like all double production bonuses for those [[buildings]]. Harvesting doesn't influence the chance for double production.
* At 9 [[blueprints]], Humans' Proficiency [[specialization]] is tied with {{Species link|Bats}} for the most common in the game.
* Humans were one of the three initial [[species]] available in Against the Storm.
