Pemmican

Overview
Pemmican is a cooked food made from 

Because of that recipe, Pemmican is especially useful when a colony has access to large amounts of Tallow but does not need that Tallow for anything else. It effectively converts 1000 g of non-edible material into 1000 kcal of extra food. This makes it a strong option for turning surplus hunting or ranching yields into shelf-stable calories instead of leaving the byproduct unused.
It is also notable for the Carnivore achievement. Since Pemmican adds more calories to Meat than many other processed foods, it is much easier to accumulate the required calorie total through Pemmican production. For example, killing 3 Spigot Seals yields 150 kg of Tallow, which is enough to produce 150 Pemmican for a total of 390,000 kcal. By comparison, the same amount of Meat made into Barbecue only adds 400 kcal per 1600 kcal of Meat, so Pemmican is the better choice when the goal is to maximize calorie gain from available ingredients.
- Recipe: 1 Meat + 1 kg Tallow → 1 Pemmican
- Calorie output: 1600 kcal + 1000 kcal → 2600 kcal
- Best use case: converting surplus Meat and Tallow into more total food, especially for Carnivore progression
