Production of food | Buildings Banished Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
NOTE: Details of producing food have been described in "Food production" chapter!
Buildings used for producing food are core elements of the town - a few weeks from the moment when the food is over. It is therefore essential to make sure that storage barns and markets don't lack food that can be taken home by the villagers. You may produce food with a variety of buildings and crops:
Crop Field - field used for cultivation of various plants - both grains and vegetables. Maximum size of the field is 15x15 units.
Cost: none
Orchard - the Orchard lets you produce fruit, however it is a very long process, before which you have to plant and grow trees. You can see the effects after a few years, so it's worth buying later on.
Cost: none
Pasture - lets you farm cows, chickens and sheep. Grazing them becomes possible when you buy animals from a merchant (in medium and hard difficulty) or from the beginning (easy).
Cost: 1 unit of logs for each section
Fishing Dock - a building that lets you fish. Part of it must be underwater. In case of smaller rivers, placing the fishing dock properly will let you use it as a bridge.
Cost: 30 units of logs, 16 units of stone
Hunting Cabin - a place for hunters. Hunting gives you not only Venison, but also Leather which you can use to make coats.
Cost: 54 units of logs, 12 units of stone
Gatherer's Hut - a hut where workers gather forest food - mushrooms, berries and roots. They should be built near forests.
Cost: 30 units of logs, 12 units of stone
