Description

Outpost in system Ugaro is causing starvation on my colony in system Galtur.

This is without using the influece boost that increases food sent to the colony.


Steps to Reproduce

Look in saves and screens


Reproducibility

5/5


Expected Behaviour

Food sent to outpost should not starve colony.

As there will be 3 ships sent then thise should not be more than 100 food per ship but that would still cause starvation here.


Version

1.0.52 S5 GOLD-Public

This is not a bug (I think), that happens because meanwhile you were sending food to the colony a population grew in the system making them more food demand and when you provide food to an outpost usually let you just with 6 or so food production so 1 population more make you go negative.


Edit: even more careful if you had an event that add new population because these make a huge impact on the food consumption.


Edit 2: If you have more colonies try to change the one that provide the food for one turn then change back to that one (If you want) that way the food that will send will refresh accordly to not make you go negative (But the outpost will grow slower)

Hello :)


This is actually not a bug! 

The Food sent to an Outpost is a percentage of your total produced Food and not of your Food excedent!

This is made this way for balancing reasons, mostly. Basing it on the excedent would allow players to Outpost around them wihtout limits.


Although if you feel this should change, the Game Design forums and the Ideas section are for you :D


Cheers,
