[[Species]] differ in which of the complex foods they want, so you will need to supply more than one type of complex food to satisfy all three species in your settlement. In addition, every species has more than one complex food need, which means they can get more than one [[Resolve]] bonus if you provide enough variety.

=== Detailed table of all buildings for complex food ===
 
This table might help you choose [[Blueprints]] based on the species in your settlement.
 
For brevity and since they are never Blueprint choices, ''Flawless'' versions of buildings are omitted from this table. Similarly, because it is an '''Essential Blueprint''' that your settlement starts out with, the {{bl|Field Kitchen}} is omitted.

Based on the species in your settlement, there are obvious choices and options to avoid when seeking to provide complex food. However, most production buildings do not  produce ''only'' food, so you will also need to take into account producing goods for your villagers' [[Services Needs]].
* In addition to producing Complex Food through your settlement's buildings, you should also consider what Complex Foods are available to purchase from [[Traders]] or can be obtained as rewards from opening abandoned caches and solving other Glade Events. Although these sources are temporary, providing extra Complex Food for even a short period of time can greatly increase the amount of Reputation your villagers can generate from high Resolve.
 
* No Complex Food recipe creates less food than its raw food inputs. You can use this to your advantage to feed your villagers more efficiently and save raw food for making more Complex Food or producing other goods, even if the Complex Food created is not one that they prefer. Simply disable all raw foods in Consumption Control once sufficient Complex Food is available.
* The {{bl|Cookhouse}} produces both {{rl|Skewers}} and {{rl|Biscuits}}, which satisfy the complex food needs for a mutually exclusive set of species. It is the only building that can produce one complex food that satisfies every species.
 
* Three buildings produce two complex foods that together can satisfy four out of the five species. The only other building that makes two complex foods is the {{bl|Butcher}}, which satisfies only three species with its products, but has a different advantage.
** The {{bl|Bakery}} produces both {{rl|Biscuits}} and {{rl|Pie}}; only {{Species link|Foxes}} are not satisfied by something from the Bakery. In addition, {{Species link|Harpies}} need both, making this building a great choice for settlements with Harpies.
** The {{bl|Beanery}} produces both {{rl|Pickled Goods}} and {{rl|Porridge}}; only {{Species link|Harpies}} are not satisfied by something from the Beanery. In addition, {{Species link|Foxes}} need both, making this a great choice for settlements with them.
** The {{bl|Cellar}} produces both {{rl|Jerky}} and {{rl|Pickled Goods}}; only {{Species link|Humans}} are not satisfied by something from the Cellar. In addition, {{Species link|Lizards}} need both, making this a great choice for settlements with them.
 
* The {{bl|Butcher}} produces both {{rl|Jerky}} and {{rl|Skewers}}, which can use as an ingredient the Jerky it produces. If you have {{Species link|Lizards}} in your settlement and either sustain the supply of Jerky or limit the production of Skewers so that you can satisfy both needs, the Butcher can be a great choice.
 
* {{Species link|Lizards}} are the hardest to completely satisfy with complex foods, since they require four different goods. It is more likely you'll be able to satisfy their [[Services Needs]] before you are able to produce all four complex foods they need.
 
* {{Species link|Beavers}}, in contrast, need only two complex foods. However, no single building produces both {{rl|Biscuits}} and {{rl|Pickled Goods}}. This means you will always need at least two buildings to produce complex foods if you intend to satisfy all of your villagers' complex food needs.

This article was last updated during version 1.8.9. The game is now in 1.11.2. Some information may be out of date. Help us keep the wiki up to date by comparing this article against the patch notes and updating it.

Overview

Villagers prefer to eat complex food, like Pie Pie, instead of raw food, like Roots Roots. While this need is satisfied, the villager will get a bonus to their Resolve and a +5% chance of producing double yields. The bonus to Resolve is higher than satisfying their needs for Housing and Clothing, but not higher than satisfying their Services Needs.

Villagers satisfy their need for complex food when they rest at the Hearths. When resting, they will eat one of every food item available for every complex food that they can satisfy, and the Resolve and production bonuses from every need they satisfy stack.

Consumption and Satisfaction

Species differ in which of the complex foods they want, so you may need to supply more than one type of complex food to satisfy all three species in your settlement. In addition, every species has more than one complex food need, which means they can get more than one Resolve bonus if you provide enough variety.

On the other hand, if your settlement is running low on food, villagers will eat a complex food that they do not need if there is no other food available to them, including raw food. If even that is not available, villagers will starve, resulting in stacking Resolve penalties and eventually, death.

Like with raw food and services, access to complex food can be disabled through Consumption Control, and denying a food incurs a Resolve penalty to those villagers who need that particular food.


List of complex foods

Each complex food can satisfy more than one species. Correspondingly, each species require different combinations of the complex foods available. The following table shows these relationships.

The food production building options are shown for convenience.

See the next section for a detailed and highly sortable table of buildings that can help you choose your Blueprints.

Although these sources are temporary, providing extra Complex Food for even a short period of time can greatly increase the amount of Reputation your villagers can generate from high Resolve.
