Food Stores:
« on: November 10, 2007, 03:45:00 pm »

I have downloaded Dwarf Fortress v0.27.169.33a

After creating the world and embarking, I see strange counts on the 'status' screen.

The 'Food Stores:' gives not the precise amount. The amounts of fish, seeds and drink are displayed in brown/yellow with a '?' mark. All the amounts are in rounded down to tenfolds.

It also looks like the amounts keep the same after eating and or drinking.

This is normal.  Press N to find out who your bookeeper is, or even to change it.  Then give him a study and he'll count everything for you.

Keeping all accounts accurate to 100% will cause the book keeper to work at his office endlessly though, and forsake most other jobs (except drinking /eating /sleeping) so setting it to the second highest is the most effective as it gives you accuracy while letting the dwarf do other jobs (like getting his ass to the trade depot)
