Harvestables and Recipes
Will there be some? https://twitter.com/SimGuruFrost/status/1258082310722813954
"#labmeat" (so labelled on Giphy by Maxis) appears to be a harvestable:
This Maxis-uploaded gif on Giphy shows a "meat" product being sliced from a wall of "meat". Vegans/vegetarians might not want to see a wall of "meat" being sliced until we know what it actually is, so I'm not actually showing the gif here.
