-There are three ways a player character can acquire food.
+There are several ways a player character can acquire food to sustain themselves.
-Firstly, the Bar has a ready supply of packaged noodles. These are free out of character and come as part of the lifestyle payments you will make during downtime so have no in character cost during play. The Bar also has many other food items available for an in character cost, mostly canned goods and packaged sweets, these are also free out of character.
+|Foraging|The character scrounges for whatever they can find. Anything edible they eat, anything saleable goes to the Bar to buy noodles. At an event, the character can eat noodles for free, and pays for anything else from their credit balance|
+|Trapping|Those with the Trapper skill are also eating meat on occasion, assuming they can catch it and are willing to risk eating it. Other than that, it is very similar to foraging, including at an event|
-Secondly some player characters have skills that allow them to live off the land. These skills reduce lifestyle costs to either 50% or zero, whilst still allowing the character to access the free noodles at the Bar. Players relying entirely on these skills to eat should take careful note of the points above about the longevity of people living this way.
+The player-run faction, The Manor House Mob, has risen to power at least in part on the back of its catering and food will be available at The Gatehouse. Members of the faction eat for free, others may need to pay in bucks. (this is the catered event ticket option and carries an ooc cost of £10). This will be a bacon or sausage sandwich for breakfast, and a cooked meal at dinner. People can help themselves to noodles for lunch, or spend some bucks on something better.
-Finally, characters with access to the right facilities can craft food. The Farm currently has all the required facilities for those with access.
-Players are asked not to consume anything else whilst in character. Please go to your out of character tent to eat anything else you may have brought with you.

-All of the bars produce a limited amount of distilled spirits of one form or another. Very occasionally, small amounts of beer are smuggled in. All of the alcohol available behind the bar costs in character credit, but is free out of character.

 Anyone with access to suitable crafting facilities, e.g. the Farm, can make a supply of alcohol. They can flavour that in any way they see fit in much the same way the Bar produces its alcohol supplies. producing the alcohol takes a downtime action though. This is obviously not an option for new players.

 Crafting food has two options, players can use either or both, they each take one week of downtime to feed one person.
 Option 1 is growing vegetable matter. Characters can speed grow any fruit or vegetable in sufficient quantities to survive for 8 weeks.
-Option 2 is 3D printing other types of food. Again, one downtime week produces enough to feed one person for 8 weeks.
+Option 2 is 3D printing other types of food, such as meat, cheese and bread. Again, one downtime week produces enough to feed one person for 8 weeks.
 The available items for printing are as follows
-  Meat. Mince, chicken breasts, steaks are all acceptable. There should be nothing with a bone in it and nothing processed like bacon or sausages.
+  Meat. Mince, chicken breasts, steaks are all acceptable. There should be nothing with a bone in it. Recipes have now been acquired for some processed meats, e.g. bacon.
   Cheese. Nothing flavoured or with other ingredients mixed in. A piece of Brie is acceptable, Wensleydale with cranberries is not.
   Bread. Relatively plain white or brown bread only.

 Players can work in pairs to combine printed food with fresh vegetables, taking one week of downtime each to produce a full set of all available foods.
-Any crafted food should be prepared on open fires outside the main building. Players will not have access to the onsite kitchen.
