Food comes in two main forms in Occupy Mars: The Game: Processed Food (MREs) and raw food (Crops).
The first food available upon landing in the Survival Capsule will be the Meals-Ready-to-Eat (MRE). A quantity of them will be located in an overhead compartment as well as in the player's inventory. This quantity will allow the player to survive for a few days. They can also be found in abandoned bases throughout the world and have a nutrition range of 36-48.
Also within the Capsule will be found the Planting Tool and a Seed Magazine with Potato Seeds. These can be utilized together to cultivate potato plants in the Plant Incubator. After growing to Stage Two, the potato plants need to be transferred to a Small Hydroponic Shelf. A Plant Crate can be utilized to expedite this process. When at full maturity, the potatoes may be harvested.
The raw potato can then be processed in the Food Processing Unit to create MREs. These packages can combine up to four crops, either the same or different and do not spoil like raw plant crops do.
