A Canteen is a high-tier food building where citizens can eat well-crafted meals. Food eaten from a canteen will provide citizens with more happiness and satisfaction than eating at an eatery. Eight foods can be taken in a canteen and cooked with: fish, eggs, mushrooms, rations, fruit, vegetables, bread and meat. The choice of these foods being allowed in the building can be enabled or disabled at any time. There are two components to this building, and they're both required: the cooking table, which allows between 1-5 workers to work there as cooks (depending on said table's size) and the standard table where citizens sit and eat.
Any cooks working here will constantly get the food from the nearest warehouse and prepare any meals they can. The canteen constantly requires coal to fuel the stoves. As mentioned before, this is one of two buildings where citizens can get food, the other being the lower tier eatery. It is recommended to have every type of food be available for the canteen, to encompass every food preference the citizens have.
In-game description
"Canteens are a step up from Eateries, they offer better tasting food and a place to sit and socialize. They require coal to operate."
