Food Gathering is a research technology in the Economy tree of the Research Center in Whiteout Survival.

Overview

Food Gathering increases Food Gathering Speed. It is available in 6 tiers (Food Gathering I, Food Gathering II, Food Gathering III, Food Gathering IV, Food Gathering V, Food Gathering VI), each with multiple upgrade levels.

Research costs include 5 resources: Resource, Meat, Wood, Coal, and Iron. Prerequisites require a specific Research Center level and, for higher tiers, completion of previous tiers. Construction times are base times and do not account for Research Speed bonuses.

-'''Food Gathering''' refers to the activity of sending march parties to [[Food]] (Meat) resource tiles on the world map to collect large quantities of [[Meat]].
+'''Food Gathering''' is a [[Research|research]] technology in the Economy tree of the [[Research_Center|Research Center]] in Whiteout Survival.
 == Overview ==
-Gathering is one of the most efficient ways to accumulate resources in Whiteout Survival. Food Gathering specifically targets Meat tiles scattered across the world map. Players send gathering marches that travel to the tile, collect resources over time, and automatically return home when full or when the tile is depleted.
+Food Gathering increases '''Food Gathering Speed'''. It is available in 6 tiers (Food Gathering I, Food Gathering II, Food Gathering III, Food Gathering IV, Food Gathering V, Food Gathering VI), each with multiple upgrade levels.

+Research costs include 5 resources: Resource, Meat, Wood, Coal, and Iron. Prerequisites require a specific Research Center level and, for higher tiers, completion of previous tiers. Construction times are base times and do not account for Research Speed bonuses.
-Meat resource tiles appear at various levels on the world map:

-=== Heroes ===

-Assign heroes with Gathering Speed or Load Capacity bonuses as the gathering march leader. These heroes significantly increase the amount of Meat collected per trip.

-=== Research ===
+== See Also ==
-The [[Economy Research]] tree contains technologies that boost:
+* [[Research]]
-* Gathering speed (faster collection)
+* [[Research_Center|Research Center]]
-* March capacity (more resources per trip)
+* [[Buildings]]
-* Meat-specific gathering bonuses
-=== Chief Gear ===
-Equipping [[Chief Gears|Gathering-focused Chief Gear]] provides powerful bonuses to gathering speed and load capacity. A full Gathering gear set is one of the best investments for resource-focused players.
-=== Alliance Territory ===
-Being part of an alliance that controls territory near high-level tiles gives easier access and sometimes exclusive rights to those tiles.
-== Multiple Gathering Marches ==
-Players can send multiple simultaneous gathering marches as their [[Command Center]] level increases march count. Maximizing the number of gathering marches running at all times is key to efficient resource collection.
-== Tips ==
-* '''Always have marches out:''' Idle marches miss gathering opportunities — keep them working whenever possible.
-* '''Target the highest-level tiles you can:''' The returns on Level 4–5 tiles are dramatically better than Level 1–2.
-* '''Use gathering gear when not in combat:''' Switch to Gathering gear for resource runs, then switch back to Combat gear before wars.
-* '''Coordinate with alliance:''' Avoid gathering on tiles claimed by alliance members to prevent conflict.
-* '''Research Economy tree early:''' Gathering bonuses compound over hundreds of trips and are worth the investment.
