Food and Drink
Solarpunk food and drink reference for berries, bread, cakes, honey bread, eggs, fruit plates, salads, tacos, pizza, water bottles, and carafes.

How To Use This Reference
The important split is immediate survival versus trip prep. Berries and rainwater keep the early game moving; cooked food, juice, bottles, and carafes become more useful once airship trips are long enough that returning home wastes time. If thirst is still annoying, solve clean water before chasing fancy meals. Keep one chest or shelf near cooking for trip food so exploration prep does not steal ingredients from seed, animal, or research plans. When co-op storage gets messy, separate raw crops from finished meals so one player does not accidentally cook the seed stock or animal-feed ingredients.
