In Necesse, ensuring your villagers are fed is crucial for their survival. This guide outlines how to efficiently manage their food supply.

Feeding Your Villagers

The core mechanic is simple: place food in chests. Once villagers are assigned to a settlement's storage, they'll automatically retrieve and consume food from those chests when hungry.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Craft a chest: Create a chest using your crafting menu.
2. Add food: Place food items inside the chest.
3. Assign storage: Open the settlement menu (usually accessed via a UI element near the top-right). Select the chest as the settlement's designated storage and assign your villagers to it.

That's the basic method. However, for a more automated approach:

1. Establish a cooking area: Designate a space within your settlement for cooking.
2. Place chests: Position chests within this cooking area to serve as storage.
3. Assign cooking tasks: In the settlement menu, assign villagers to cooking tasks within the designated cooking area.

This setup allows villagers to cook and self-serve, requiring only ingredient replenishment from you.
