In Necesse, keeping your settlers well-fed is crucial for their survival and happiness. Fortunately, feeding your villagers is straightforward. Simply ensure your chests are stocked with food. Once your villagers are assigned to a settlement with storage, they'll automatically retrieve and consume food from those chests when hungry.
Alternatively, you can manage this through the settlement menu, assigning work to each settler.
That's it! Hungry villagers will automatically head to the chest to eat. For a more efficient system, establish a cooking area within your settlement. Assign villagers to cooking and provide them with the necessary ingredients. Place several chests in the cooking area as designated storage. This allows your villagers to cook and feed themselves, minimizing your manual food replenishment.
While various food items work, gourmet-tier foods are most efficient. The Blueberry Cake recipe is inexpensive and readily accessible early in the game, making it an excellent choice.
That covers the essentials of feeding your Necesse villagers. For more Necesse tips and guides, check out The Escapist!
