Am I missing something?

[ccadem]

I'm not sure if I'm missing some magic screen that tells me a new list of commands, because I can't seem to do much of anything. I've tried about every key on my keyboard, right clicking, alt clicking, but I can't seem to eat any food. Holding right click doesn't do anything, and I've tried to drop it on the ground and right click to eat it too. Am I just stupid, or should I repost this in bug reports?

eating is automatic.

[swillo]

as long as you have it in your inventory you will eat it when you get hungry.

AFAIK only one person in the squad needs food in his/her backpack for all of the squad to share between them, as long as they are close together.

Also if someone could confirm this: if you store food in containers in your base, your characters will run to it and grab 2 meals (1 for eating and 1 for later use). But it looks like if they grab a food item that has more than 60 NU (it lasts more than one meal) they will only grab one.

This is true, characters will run to a foodcontainer and grab the amount of food they need for a little While.
Unless they stand too far away from the food source.

This is Just a rough estemation, but i believe that you only need:
For 20 characters:
- 2 x weathfarms
- 1 x well
- 1 x mill
- 1 x breadoven.
- 1 x breadstorage.
Plus the People needed to operate everything. I think 3 should be enough.
Although i have more farms than I need, I think selling bread to the holynation is a good source of income.

P.S. Most of the problems I've seen people having with the food system revolve around relying on low-Nu foods like bread.

I mostly stick to meatwraps.

[Smiley]

Well the setup of ur farms depends on the availeble resources ...

For example my outpost has 67 % output on weath about the same on water. So more are needed.


I agree with jay meatwraps (and bread) are the main food i use. offc bread cos after a while i have over a thousand bread so doesnt really matter...

But it also depends on the availability of animals. i kill packs of 5-7 goats to keep feeding 38 characters without problems. Its 7 raw meat each.

[Berzerker Jay]

If you can keep from killing the entire squad of goats, they do replenish over time.

[Berzerker Jay]

I mostly just snag one goat whenever a herd passes.
