The food production chain in RimWorld results in edible food to keep your colony sustained. There are multiple ways to obtain raw ingredients for refined food, and refined food itself.

Farming

The most common way to produce food in RimWorld is to farm it. Vegetarian ingredients are obtained by growing crops, and meat ingredients are obtained by rearing livestock.

Foraging

Early-game, you're not going to be able to set up a farm straight away; foraging is your best bet for keeping your colony sustained at this point. Forage for berries and agave, and hunt wild animals.

Trade

The least efficient way to obtain food, you should only trade for food if you're desperate.

Rough To-Do List (Temporary)

  • Detail the various crop types and what situations they excel/fall behind in
  • Detail some of the best options for livestock to rear
  • Consider biomes for food foraging
  • Risks of hunting
  • Advantages and disadvantages of each means of production
  • Insect farming and cannibalism
