Hi Jeremy, I have discovered a problem with 0.8b you might not be aware of. When your people begin starving, particularly more than one at once, all it says is person x is near starvation over and over again until you cancel the game or somehow figure out a way to keep them from starving to death. Which brings me to my question.
I really appreciate Castaway's and have been playing it daily since 0.1b came out, but I can not for the life of me figure out how to keep my castaway's from starving to death. I usually assign one or two hunting, build three/four vegetable farms, add a couple of farmers, and assign the rest to various tasks. With in an hour or so of playing my people will begin starving to death even though I might have plenty of food on hand. For instance, I had 109 meet, and 241 vegetables. I would think under any realistic situation this would be enough to sustain 14 people. Yet almost my entire crew of castaways died one by one all in a row. I even had a cook and taverin I thought should help, but they still died. Can you help explain this to me better? Basically, what I want to know is how much food do I need for each person, how many farms, how much meet, etc in order to sustain a population long enough to reproduce and so on. I guess I don't understand the mechanics here of how much is needed to get things going before people starve to death or the goblins rampage through what you have left.
