Economy/food relation
« on: January 06, 2008, 07:40:00 pm »

It seems like some of my people, mainly the unemployed (children during no-farming season or peasants), eat plump helmets instead of my legendary food (worth lots of money).  So I'm wondering if the economy selects what people eat and can't eat, can it be possible for someone not to afford food?

I noticed one of my children at the dining room had an account of 1 with 1 owned item (most likely the plump helmet the child was carrying).  So can the account go down to 0?

Once the economy is on, they are still allowed to eat, but they have to eat the cheapest food if they can't afford something better.

Accounts can go down to zero.
