Food Market
Details
Description	Distributes and sells food items automatically to nearby houses
Cost	5 Stone + 10 Wood
Size	3x3
Requirements	Base level 2

The Food Market is a building that automatically distributes and sells Basic Food to nearby houses. It is one of five Market Buildings.

Houses must be connected to the Food Market by pathway. A fully upgraded level ten house wants 6 points in Basic Food.

Inventory Items

Market buildings do not stock items like production buildings. They have a list of items they will purchase to supply the houses. These items are what the Food Market will purchase.

The buildings that provide goods for the Food Market are the Farm (Grain, Herb, Sugar, Berry, Carrot, Potato, Tomato, and Cactus Fruit), Forrester (Apple, Pear, Dragonfruit), Pasture (Milk, Eggs, Chicken, Beef), Kitchen (Cooked Fish, Cooked Chicken, Cooked Beef, Bread, Apple Juice, Pear Juice, Berry Juice, Butter, and Cheese), Fishery (Fish), and Food Mill (Flour). All of these are Basic Food. Items sold here give Yellow Coins.
