How To Manage Food Consumption In Elder Scrolls Castles

How to produce more food in The Elder Scrolls: Castles

Excessive food consumption is caused by having too many subjects in your castle for your Kitchen to cope with. If you only have one Kitchen, you should try not to exceed 50 adult subjects in total. As the children in the castle grow up, they’ll add to the toll on your food storage, so you’ll need to take that into account and prep your castle in advance. A level 10 Kitchen produces 675 food every cycle - the time a cycle takes depends on which decorations you have in your castle, but it’s usually just under four minutes without any decorations affecting it. In a castle with 50 adults, the food consumption is 258 per minute with no decorations. That means that a level 10 Kitchen will be able to handle feeding all 50 adults without running out of food before the next cycle is finished. However, if you want more adults in your castle - or you have children that are about to age up to adults - you’ll need to produce more food.
