Your Thoughts on Food and the Marketplace

[Penchant]

To be honest, I just noticed now that I could have done multiple votes per person.  You can reply with your 2 votes and I'll manually add them to the results when the poll is finished.

Can't you just edit the OP to allow it or something like that?

[Foundation]

I don't think that type of editing is allowed after a poll starts.

+ my second vote for food working fine on Beluaterra.

my second vote is needs work for Far East Island.

400 food won't feed my city for 6 days. And the offers sit for weeks, and expire unfilled. I literally see dozens of buy offers for prices from 40-50/100, every time I look.

Whats the population fed per 1 unit of food?

My city has a population of 11,300 and requires 23 food per day, or 1 unit of food per 491 people.

Other places are between 394 to 510 people fed per 1 unit of food.

Based on an overall average of 451 people fed per 1 unit of food, 400 food lasting 6 days, your city has a population of around 30,222?

1 bushel=500 peasants. Also he said 400 bushels won't feed his city for 6 days.

1 bushel=500 peasants. Also he said 400 bushels won't feed his city for 6 days.

I think he's trying to determine whether that was hyperbole or not. Very few cities aren't fed for 6 days with 400 food. (Mine being one of them) but there are few.

[Indirik]

Libidizedd has a population of 35.5k. I think it uses 69 per day, IIRC. Libidizedd, Mimer, and Eidulb are almost identical.

And yes, 1 bushel feeds 500 peasants for 1 day. Plus extra for militia, and any troops that happen to be in the region.

[Azerax]

I'm just trying to see if the average 1 unit of food feeds is vastly different on Dwilight.

Can you guys do the math for your cities?  (population divided by food demand)

[Indirik]

1/500 should be global across all islands. Don't forget to make allowances for militia and troops. They eat substantially more.

Pretty sure you are a way off on that. Most cities I see are above 30k pop. Azerax was pretty good on his math though as Indirik was being picky, his city is ~31k pop.
P.S. it seems like there is a bug if his city really is 35.5k pop as it is displayed as 30933 to outsiders.

[Gustav Kuriga]

Currently Golden Farrow requires over 100 bushels each day. Fun... and I still have 15,000 more people to go in order to reach maximum population. <.<

[Azerax]

need more people to answer survey!

[Indirik]

Ah crap... it's 31k. Sorry. It used to be 45k before the rebalance, I think. Anyway, it has a net demand of 62 per day plus troops/militia. So I guess 400 would probably last about 6 days. But it really doesn't matter. 6 or 7 is quibbling over pennies.

Also, the Dwilight food situation seems to be dratically different than other islands. It could be season, or a general shortage of food.

Yes well, 30k pop is 360 bushels every 6 days. Which is under 400. (excluding militia for simplicity)

Meanwhile, my city consumes at least 115 bushels of food a day.

Well, can we calculate that?  Total island population divided by daily food production?
