 Food rolls its colour, with 40+ color description groups separated in two pools: it has 50% chance to have "a developed colour" (ie. "royal azure", "jade green") and the rest to have a simple colour ("azure", "green").

 "Picture Variant" and "color" values (from 1 to 1000) are example values which can be used to better represent this item in addition to its food type.
+Such values are there to better express later 2D picture or texture representations, or 3D engine representations.
+For instance, one value of 524 could be interpreted as different groups of esthetics answers, when dividing the value by 16 or different numbers.
+//"Color Family"// and //"Color Tone"// are values extracted from the base colour value.

+**Other Attributes**
 All parameters with a * have a strong influence already included in current development.
-//Name//
+Many of the attributes below, when they are numeric, are rolled with a 1-1000 roll. We plan to differentiate this better later with two added 1-500 rolls, for instance.
-//Description//
-//Home* (planet, region, season)//
-//Esthetics (picture and color values)//
-//Easiness to Collect* (units left, stealth, extractability)//
-... described above.
+Food attributes have been first set as a base generation template for planets, and later patched and upgraded, so some of the information below may be missing some additional attributes.
+Attributes covered above are:
+//Name// \\
+//Description// \\
+//Home* (planet, region, season)// \\
+//Esthetics (picture and color values)// \\
+//Easiness to Collect* (units left, stealth, extractability)// \\
 //Size*//
-Size is used in compatibility to the [[food-dishes|Dish types]] you can use when crafting food.
+Size is used in [[crafting-compatibility|compatibility]] to the [[food-dishes|Dish types]] you can use when [[crafting|crafting]] food.
+For instance, an //Appetizer// should have small size, but a //Main Course// should have a large size.
 //Looks*//
-Looks is factored as a global factor to cantina menus, but can be ignored for travel rations when crafting food.
+Looks is factored as a global [[crafting-quality|quality factor]] for [[crafting-cantina-menu|"cantina menus"]].
+But it can be totally ignored for [[crafting-travel-ration|"travel rations"]] when crafting food.
+It still has an influence to determine if a citizen [[citizen-food-appreciation|likes a plate or not]] the first time he tries it.
 //Fragility*//
-Fragility is directly factored when "Preparing Food", which is the first step of food crafting. It acts as a difficulty to prepare your food.
+Fragility is directly factored when "Preparing Food", which is the first step of food crafting.
+It acts as a direct difficulty to prepare your food, substracting fragility from your cooking team chances. **The less fragile a food is, the better.**
 //Toxicity*//
-Toxicity increases chances for Food Buffs and Debuffs when generating food. It can also influence other negative events when eating.
+Toxicity increases chances for [[food-buffs|Food Buffs]] and [[food-debuffs|Food Debuffs]] when generating food. It can also influence other negative events when eating.
+Raw food has a base ( toxicity / 10 ) +30% to receive  one debuff. \\
+Then a second roll of ( toxicity / 10 ) % to receive one more. \\
+Then a third roll of ( toxicity / 10 ) - 30% to receive one more. \\
+Then a last roll of ( toxicity / 10 ) - 60% to receive one last. \\
+All of these rolls are independent from each other. \\
+Half of (Toxicity / 10) (you can interpret that as ( toxicity / 20) ) is also added to the debuff strength category. \\
+Rarity of a debuff is normally 64%, 28% and 8%, respectively, for debuffs of Common/Rare/Epic rarities. \\
+But as half of your (toxicity/10) is also added to this score, this means that your debuffs also have "good chances to be stronger debuffs". \\
+These debuffs have only 70% chance to carry over to the "prepared food" version of the food item.
 //Nutrients*//
-Nutrients is directly used to
+Nutrients is directly used to determine the Stamina output of any menu you craft.
-//Texture hardness//
-//Heaviness (on stomach)//
+To determine it, the total nutrients of all menu ingredients are added together and divided by 25.
-//Exotism//
+So a menu of 3 food items with 500 nutrients will have an average base output of **60 stamina** being gained, in addition to other food buffs.
+Then they are multiplied by the crafting results of the menu in three categories: [[crafting-food-score-base|base requirements]], [[crafting-food-score-dish|dish compatibility]] and [[crafting-food-score-menu|menu compatibility]].
+We determine the "average" of these three as a percentage.
+For instance, you could have 50% score if you have a base requirement score of 20, a dish score of 50, and a menu compatibility of 80.
+With 50% score, the end output of a 60 stamina menu will be: **30 stamina**.
+//Taste*//
+Taste is used for compatibility with dishes and quality for cantina menus, and when determining chances for a citizen to [[citizen-food-appreciation|appreciate]] a new plate he encounters.
+//Exotism*//
+Exotism will be used as an influence for citizens [[citizen-food-appreciation|to like a plate or not]] the first time they try it.
+//Saltiness*// \\
+//Sweetness*// \\
+These values are much used to determine dish compatibility for an ingredient. For instance, desserts must be sweet!
+//Texture hardness// \\
+//Heaviness (on stomach)// \\
+These two may be used later as influences to appreciate a plate or not.
+//Interaction// \\
+//Olfactive// \\
+//Bitterness// \\
+//Sourness// \\
+//Greasiness// \\
+These values are unused yet, but "interaction" (how well an ingredient combines with others) and "olfactive" (how strong and good is its smell) may be used when determining a menu success.
+//Rare variant// \\
+//Cooked variant// \\
+//Steeped variant// \\
+"Variants" have been generated with their own set of attributes. These attributes may vary from their original.
-For every single attribute we then currently make a 1-1000 roll.
+These variants are unused yet, soon with the exception of the Cooked variant which will become the first to be used.
-//We plan to make that better later according to observations on game balance, such as having two 1-500 rolls added together.//
+Normally you can obtain the Rare variant when collecting the food ; it has about 20% chance.
+You can obtain the Cooked variant when activating "Heating" (consumes 1 energy but gives +10 to the team skill value) when transforming a food item.
+Transforming food has been removed from current features to allow players to better focus on preparing and eating.
