Cattail cracker

Cattail Cracker is a processed food item in Timberborn made from the plant commonly referred to as cattails. The product is created by converting harvested cattails into a dry flour and then baking that flour into crisp crackers. Cattail cracker serve as a non-perishable food source compared with raw crops and fit into supply chains that transform raw agricultural produce into finished provision items.

Production requires three sequential operations. First, players must grow and harvest cattails using the settlement’s agricultural workforce. Second, harvested cattails must be ground into cattail flour by a milling operation. Third, the resulting flour is baked into cattail crackers using a baking-capable production building. Because cattail crackers are a processed food, their manufacture imposes additional infrastructure and workflow requirements beyond those for simple crops, including access to both grinding and baking production steps and the workforce to staff those facilities.

• Grow and harvest cattails to obtain the raw material.
• Process the harvested cattails into flour through a grinding mill.
• Bake the flour into cattail crackers in a building that performs baking.
• Treat cattail crackers as processed food when planning logistics, storage, and production chains; they require multiple production stages and corresponding buildings and workers.

Cattail Crackers integrate into longer supply chains and storage strategies as a stable provision that reduces dependence on perishable fresh food. Production planning should account for the extra buildings and processing time required to convert raw cattails into the finished crackers.
