Let's make preserved foods truly preserved foods

The game’s biggest selling point is the concept that food spoils like in real life. I propose a new production facility to make vinegar from apples and wine from grapes. I propose a new production facility, a salt mine. Add vinegar to Bottled food recipes. Add salt and fire wood to cheese recipes
Adapting a biscuit recipe to a bakery would require more firewood and labor time than making bread. Biscuits have a longer shelf life because they contain less moisture. Make sure to add salt to the smoked meat or fish as well. Add salt to your starting items. Please village center a button to manage preserved food in the viewing. Pressing the button will stop the transport of food designated as stored food to homes and workplaces. By using preserved foods when really needed, we can break away from the current operating method of unconditionally turning fresh foods into preserved foods whenever they become available. It can prevent fresh food from spoiling. The villagers sometimes use up preserved foods first.

I’ve been wondering why I’ve been running out of food at T3, never considered the Preservationist, he’s probably also the one stealing all my glass jars.

Yes, I’m going to break my back while making glass bottles. Instead of saving glass bottles, it would take more effort to make preserved food. This way, we don’t have to make preserved foods indiscriminately. Even for something like bread, if you limit it to 300, then you’ll only be producing biscuits, so managing grain products will be much easier.

I agree that salt should be an essential in-game resource for preserving foods. It seems like a simple enough thing to add into the game.

It could be mined from salt mines or extracted from brine springs. Then used to preserve meat, and make cheese. Used to make pickled preserves (along with vinegar from apples or grapes - I like that idea). If you didn’t have any on your map, you’d have to trade for it, just like in real history!

Hard to overstate how important salt was to people in earlier times. It was even used as money (“salaries” for soldiers) given that it’s value was so reliable and demand was constant.

Thank you for your agreement. If there is a lot of agreement, the developer will take note.
