Hardtack

"A tough biscuit or cracker that lasts for a very long time and is good for travelling. Makes you thirsty and doesn't taste very good, though."

Hardtack is a food item added by the Core of RimCuisine 2. It can be made very easily almost anywhere after Basic Food Preservation has been researched, taking 2 flour to produce 14 hardtack.

Although it gives 0.20 less nutrition than if a simple meal had been made instead and it gives a -4 mood penalty, it has an incredible shelf life of 5 years, can be left out in the open for 30 days before disappearing. Because of this, it can be used in a pinch for tribes facing weather related crises or for early game caravans. Finally, it can also be used with pemmican to produce Rubaboo, the ultimate low-tech survival food.
