Hi Bryan, Well, like any strategy game Castaways has a number of factors involved in getting the food production up and running. How I do it is I actually get the farms, storehouse, and tavern, built before I do anything else. I try to stock enough food and supplies before I begin building houses and expanding the population.
Basically, since I know I'm going to have an explosion of pregnant women and little kids running around under foot I stock up a lot of food and supplies to make sure they are well fed and I have enough supplies to keep the day to day tasks going while the mothers are off work. Of course, as soon as those kids get old enough to work they can fill in as peasants doing delivering goods here and there throughout the town picking up over all production. The main thing you need in a game like Castaways is supplies and plenty of peasants to keep deliveries going or you will starve real fast. For instance, if you have 550 loaves of bread in your storehouse but 0 in the local tavern your people will starve because noone is constantly delivering the food to the place it needs to be. So you need to have plenty of peasants running around bringing bread, vegis, and meet to the tavern as well as the man or woman to cook and serve it.
