Q: How do I eat food? Why this is not explained anywhere?

Q: How do I get fuel for the farms? The farms won't grow any lettuce because they miss some kind of fuel, although i can not figure out what kind of fuel and how i make it :')
A: You need to investigate in the laboratory the creation of earth blocks, these will be the fuel of the farm. Or from update 0.16.28 use a compost as fuel to fi-basic-farmland.
