## ๐ฅฉ Food Actually Matters
Raw ingredients aren't meant to be your ideal source of food.
Instead of simply eating whatever you find, Harvest & Hearth encourages you to **prepare proper meals**.
Raw ingredients can provide limited nutrition, while properly prepared food can provide much better nourishment and useful effects.
The better you cook, the better you eat.
---
## ๐ง Stay Hydrated
Hunger isn't the only thing you need to worry about.
**Water matters too.**
Find water, collect it, purify it and keep yourself hydrated while exploring the world.
Different sources of water aren't necessarily equally safe, so think before you drink.
๐ง Find water
๐ซ Collect it
๐ฅ Purify it
๐ฅค Drink it
๐ฟ Stay hydrated

## ๐ Live Through the Seasons
The world changes throughout the year.
๐ธ Spring
โ๏ธ Summer
๐ Autumn

Seasons affect farming and give you a reason to plan your food production.
Harvest during the warmer months, preserve your ingredients and prepare for winter.
A successful farmer thinks ahead.
---
## ๐ฅซ Preserve Your Harvest
A huge harvest is only useful if you can keep it.
Turn your excess ingredients into preserved food and supplies for later.
Create stocks of food and drinks so that your pantry is ready when certain crops are out of season.
Your farm isn't just a place to grow food.
**It's your source of survival.**
