Editing Food & Diet (section)

==Spawning and Mechanics==
'''Foods''' do not spawn randomly, but spawn in the area highlighted by mapmakers in the Foods Layer (see Map Making for more information). Mapmakers can also determine the quantity of food, the type of food, and the spawn and respawn time of the food that spawns in an area. Food can be set to spawn only in water, and in the terrains layer, food can be set to spawn on the terrain as well (The type of the terrain food is determined by the type of the terrain, the quantity of terrain food can’t be determined by the mapmaker). There are no rules restricting any food from spawning in any place, so basically you can make any food spawn anywhere. 

Apparently, some food spawns are not determined by the mapmaker themselves and will only spawn as events of the game. For example, bird poop can’t be spawned by the mapmaker and will only spawn every 10 seconds underneath a Seagull. Some certain props also spawn food automatically without needing a mapmaker to manage them.
