Food production

So I have 3 bases and a bunch of food production rooms
But only 9 troopers (new game not lots of troops yet)

So do the excess ADD to my stockpile
What about other rescources like tech and materials
what produces them and how do I build ''em Rather than salvage them etc

thanks

You can’t. Food is the only trading resource you can directly produce via facility.

The excess food gets added to your stock and you can then trade for tech or material.
However, food production takes 1.5 months to have a return on the investment (there was a calculation in an other Thread). A bit less if you 50% with Anu for the 50% food production increase (or steal the research).

Thanks.
Brilliant information

Makes sence that there is a time lag with things like food production and fabrication
In fact it’s a nice bit of realism
