# Food and Mystic Ore

Now that we use food for calling visitor, you may find yourself running low all the time. Deploying cannot keep up. You may notice that you're in dire need for mystic ore as well.

### Mystic Ore (the red resource)

Unfortunately there is no good way to get decent amount of them at this stage. You will need to rely on deployment to Sand and Stone biomes. If you see red deposit looking thing on the map, deploy people to dig them up.

### Food

You're in luck because you can start producing food pretty early. You get a <mark style="color:$success;">Rancher</mark> for clearing fog lv 13. Recruiting rancher unlocks <mark style="color:$success;">Ranch</mark> (called Farm in research because translation lol)

Once you build a ranch, you will unlock <mark style="color:$success;">Monster Feed</mark> research

Monster Feed spawns farm animals. Your ranchers fetch them back to ranch where they will be tended to before turning into food. If you need more hands on this, give your units <mark style="color:$success;">Ranch Know-How</mark> skill.

NPC tells you Feed needs to be outside, however, you can actually build it in town too.

Feed spawns a limit amount of animals. When runs out, you need an <mark style="color:$success;">apple</mark> to refresh. If you don't have apples, you can simply destroy and rebuild. You do get a surplus of food with rebuilding.

We will cover apple production in later section.

Level up Feed will make it last longer spawning more animals. However, we want to keep it's refresh time nice and short so don't level it too much. The feed will spawn <mark style="color:$success;">Zoo animals</mark> in the future and it only spawn 1 per refresh.&#x20;
