Hunger & Nutrition

OUTDATED. SEE Needs AND Well-Being INSTEAD

Each beaver consumes, on average, 2.5 units of food per day. All food types satiate the same amount of hunger, but each gives a distinct nutrition buff.

Beavers prefer a balanced diet, prioritizing eating foods that gives some nutrition that they lack and will ignore Berries if another type of food is available.

Food	Adults	Kits
Berries	None	None
Carrots	Life expectancy +30%	Life expectancy +20%
Grilled Potatoes	Strength +30%	Life expectancy +20%
Grilled Chestnut	Strength +10%	Life expectancy +5%
Grilled Spadderdock	Life expectancy +15%	Life expectancy +15%
Bread	Carrying speed +20%	Life expectancy +20%

Farming

Raw food

Plant	Days to grow	Crop size	units/day	plants/beaver
Berries	12	3	0.25	10
Carrots	4	3	0.75	3.3333

• The Blueberry bush takes 12 days to grow before yielding Berries

Grilled food

Plant	Days to grow	Crop size	units/day	Grilled food	plants/beaver
Potato	6	1	0.1666	4 Grilled Potatoes	3.75
Spadderdock	12	3	0.25	3 Grilled Spadderdock	3.3333
Chestnuts	8	3	0.375	2 Grilled Chestnut	3.3333

• Potatoes require 0.1 logs per plant per harvest to grill.
• Spadderdocks and chestnuts require 0.3 logs per plant/tree per harvest to grill
• The Chestnut Tree takes 24 days to grow before yielding Chestnuts

Baked food

Plant	Days to grow	Crop size	units/day	Flour	Baked food	plants/beaver
Wheat	10	3	0.3	1 Wheat Flour	5 Bread	1.6666
Cattail Root	8	3	0.375	1 Cattail Flour	4 Cattail Cracker	1.6666
Maple Syrup	12	3	0.25		3 Maple Pastry	2.7777 Wheat 3.3333 Maple syrup

• Wheat and cattail requires 0.3 logs per plant per harvest to bake.
• Maples themselves don't require logs, but Maple+Wheat processing requires 0.3 logs per wheat plant per wheat harvest. 0.3 logs per maple tree per maple harvest. 0.16 logs per plant/tree per wheat harvest. 0.14 logs per plant per maple harvest. Or 9 logs per 11 plants (5 wheat 6 maple) per 60 day cycle.
• The Maple tree takes 30 days to grow before yielding Maple Syrup

Planting Ratio

Considering that each plant is harvested and planted immediately and that grills, gristmills and bakeries runs without a backlog, the plants perfect ratio to feed 36 beavers is:

Plant	Tiles
Carrot	120
Potato	135
Wheat	60
Spadderdock	120
Cattail	60
Chestnut Tree	120
Maple Wheat	120 100

The actual ratio depends heavily on the time to plant and harvest crops, time to carry goods between factories, drought periods and if  Folktails Beehive is present or not.
