discrepency in days food will last
« Topic Start: April 27, 2016, 11:09:38 PM »
Small thing, but these should be working from same code & can be disruptive to Lord;

On the blue "Important Information" sidebar I have:

You have 446 bushels of food stored.
This store will last you about 85 more days.

From the food report:
446,   63 days

Whether or not these are only estimates, they should be the same estimate. One is only 75% the length as the other

Yes; there's currently no standardized calculation of how long food will last. At this point I think we're up to about four different ones in different places.

My first guess as to the discrepancy between these two is seasonal variation, and my second is troops eating food. But I'd have to look at the code in both places to be sure.

Perhaps also food distribution/rationing?

Yep, probably that, too.
