Do Berries become obsolete after you provide other food types? I have lots of berries but they never seem to be used.

Currently only the Irontails require berries throughout the entire game to maintain reproduction. Folktails don't require them anymore once you have sustainable farming.

I continue to harvest berries, and store them when playing Folktails. I use them to provide food for new districts when they are first getting started, since my initial district has developed other food types by then, and are self sufficient in carrots, potatoes, and bread

Perfect thanks a bunch.

Yeah, I'm used to just straight up replace them with carrot. Carrot gives triple the yields per tile compared to Berry, plus 30% life expectancy boost as an extra. The only real advantage of Berry is it's more tolerant to being dried out or flooded (7 days vs 2 days for carrot), which sometimes randomly saves the settlement from the wipeout.

I keep harvesting berries just in case of a crop failure which does happen at times.

Same here, I had about 4,000 and I watched as all the rest was eaten, even the 12,000+ bread until I was down tom only around 50 berries for a 350 population. thankfully other food started rolling in again
