Berry

Berry is a food ingredient gathered from berry bushes by the berry farmer.

Farming
The berries can only be obtained by the berry farmer: the player cannot gather berries himself.

Berry bushes do not need to grow before the berries are ripe. The limit for the effectiveness of the berry farmer is limited by the time he needs to gather one berry, the low food value of one berry, and the time he needs to travel to and from crates. The amount of berry bushes in one 'berry field' is irrelevant. Creating larger 'berry fields' than the bare minimum is not necessary, see optimal farm size.

Food
Berries are a Food ingredient. At the start of a new game, berries are the only food source available until the completion of the "Bread production" Science. Berries are crafted into a meal which is consumable by colonists and also the player
