OK, here's the stats

Ver 1.0
19 villagers
Level 2 in all tech

I read another post yesterday but, I can't find it again, that had the same problem. If I close the game and let it run on it's own, even if I know a harvest is coming up shortly, I re-open it and there's very little food.

Exp....Saturday PM, I left them with 130 of food, and a harvest coming up in 12 minutes. I went to bed and re-opened the game 6 hours later. I had 44 in food and 112 minutes before harvest. YIKES!!!! Talk about stressful!!!!!

I just need to confirm this is correct or if this could be a bug.
I know the children also get stuck alot between items in the village and wind up just sitting there and rapidly shaking back and forth, so I'm kind of clueless.

Anyway, NOT a complaint at all, just a question.

Thanks,
Elaine

We are working on those issues for an update to the game.

Thank you!!

Yeah, this by far is the most annoying problem I've seen. I've had instances where I had 400 food, put the game on 1/2 speed and gone to bed. I wake up the next morning and there's no food, 40 minutes to harvest and everything else is barren. I have 18 people in my village.

I'm resorting to playing it manually at normally speed, and checking the pot to make sure there's food every few minutes and looking for mushrooms. I've got everybody cranking on research just so I can get to 90K tech to buy Farming 3. It takes me about 1 hour to get about 15-20K tech. But I have to sit in front of the game the whole time. This is my first village, and had I known, I would've kept my population down to 12-14 to make sure I don't run out of food. Unfortunately, I had one founding woman who had some parenting skills and periodically she'd hook up with another guy and out comes another mouth to feed, even if I had her farming instead.

I dunno, I can see this kept this way by design, but it would've helped if I knew how much the farm could support optimally.
