Same thing happend to me. I had 2778 of food, 7 villagers, and 190 coconuts left.. I left game running on normal speed and after 2 hours there's no food, no coconuts, and 1 of my villagers is dead
Something definitely seems amiss here. From what I have seen the villagers consume food at approximately 20 food units per villager per year. With that much food and only 7 villagers it should have lasted for quite a few village years (nearly 20) even if my calculations are a bit off. Worst case you were running at 2x speed. At that speed a village year is 60 minutes, so you should have been fine for almost a full day and night of people (computer) time.
Maybe I need to redo my tests on villager food consumption. Has anyone done that?
