Back arrow (CivBE) List of yields in CivBE

Food Food is one of the main tile yields in Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth.

Sources[]

Food Food is mainly acquired by having your cities work the Terrain around them. More Food Food can be obtained from resources, tile improvement, buildings and trade. Clearing an Alien Nest or combining artifacts may also yield a one-time Food Food boost.

Uses[]

Food Food is gathered for one important purpose, that of growing the Population Population of your cities. Each Population Citizen consumes 2 Food Food. Note that all percentage modifiers to Food Food are applied after consumption is taken into account; as such, they will affect growth rate but not maximum Population Population.

Some effects cause Food Food to be carried over after city growth:

  • 30% with the Nanopasture building (15% in Rising Tide)
  • 10% with the Frugality virtue
  • 10% with the appropriate CEL Cradle building quest option
  • 10% with the appropriate Cloning Plant building quest option
  • 10% with the Biospheres technology
  • 15% on completion of the Spores and Harvest quest

City growth[]

A city grows by storing enough Food Food required to increase the Population Population by 1.

The specific amount of Food Food required to increase the Population Population by 1 is calculated as follows:

Food required = p² + 6p + 8

where p is the current Population Population of the city.
