So much food
« on: March 02, 2012, 12:15:25 pm »

I wouldn't mind, if the amount of food products gained from butchering, and milling / processing was decreased. There's just no challenge in feeding dwarves, and all those hunderds of food items hurt FPS

Well, I suppose one can look at it two ways:
There's the negatives, where food takes up stockpiles and valuable FPS, and generally adds to post-survival boredome
Then, there's the positives - You can spend more time focusing on megaprojects and thriving industrialization, and you always have stuff to trade.

Really?  Because I've noted a SHARP drop in farming returns in more recent versions.

Extra time to build that that massive gold tower under the bottom layer for your nobles.

This, rapidly losing food stocks is MUCH more common...

do dwarves eat more or do farms produce less?

it has to be one or the other right?

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

Maybe. Could be both. Or, hypothetically, neither. Maybe vermin eat food more?

I'd wager it's a decrease in yield. I haven't noticed any change to the eating patterns of the starting 7 in the first year and I hardly feel any decrease in food yield because by the 2nd year I'm running on eggs while buying every food from every caravan because I like variety in my cooked foods.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

There should be a new Megabeast which is a giant vermin of some type.  If you cat doesn't kill it in time, it'll consume 100+ units of food per month.
