Gutberries and other stuff

[Vector3D]

So I got this game because I like the style, and wonder what I can make of it.

But I haven't gotten very far into the game, before I seem to run out of gutberries despite trying to make food from rats the berries are often eaten, so I can't stock them and right now my map is empty of these berries while the fog is only getting closer.
I also seem to have too little lights?

What do I do?

Learn to plant gutberries (it's a research project) and build more lights.

Regarding what people are eating. You can define custom groups and use the Advanced Meal options so that people will only eat exactly what you want them to.

Gutberry planting is one of the first if not the first researches I go for along with chests. Next is rustic dining because I want to stop my peeps from eating the gutberries asap and get them on bitter rice.

I also try to get a student available asap to help with the superior fog ritual. It cost more but you get more bang for your buck for the spent resources.

Different trees give higher wood amounts too so I aim to chop them first.

switch to bitter rice plots. it's an early tech you can research. it is the tech right after researching the gruel pot. All of the races can eat bitter rice gruel
