What do I feed Cattle?

[FreeXP]

I bought 2 cattle, Have a barn, 2 workers, set grazing area. But I have warning signs saying no feed for winter. Neither worker is gathering anything and cannot see anything at the trader for fodder.

I give my cows grain, which I also use to make flour and bread from.

grain, root vegetable

That is the other issue I am having , planted wheat 5 years in a row an for some reason it is never harvested. I have a granary waiting for wheat, have the mill ready, but no wheat leaves the field.

How do you stop your baker from stealing all the flour and making tons of bread that will go to waste?

I dont. The baker takes it all, while my cows gets little to nothing during winter time. Which sucks.

Trying my third game, might skip the baker and see how it goes.

This is exactly why there needs to be a resource limiter implemented, it is pretty shocking that there isn't one already, it is a pretty basic feature in city builders.

The barn takes Grain and not Flour. I Tend to micro manage my Mill to not use all of my grain.

How are you limiting it? what tool/slider/magic button are you using?

at least until we get resource limits, bread is something that you really shouldnt even bother with until you need another food group to push into tier 4 housing. Use grain for feed and booze, or just feed your cattle carrots and turnips

Micromanaging it means opening up the mill info window and stopping production manually.

I've solved it mainly by only having one mill worker and one bread maker active and that will produce bread slowly enough that the barn workers can get their share of wheat for winter fodder.

There is something else you can do mr. Scum, you do know how always write about distance and villager stupidity? You can actually place your windmill in no mans land giving him/her a lot of busy work before any flour gets produced. I have a windmill near one of my remote hunters .... it works.

In another game I placed the windmill in "China" and gave it a temporary shelter. Works too.

The only easy permanent solution for the grain stock currently is shutting down your windmill, until you have a grain year production which can exceed the year consumption of windmill, then you will have grain provision stably goes into barns.

Other than that... Well, resource limiter is the only solution, but it is not in-game as other said. Otherwise you have to manually open and shut down windmills each year.

[Vrighty]

place your granary next to the barn. I fyou have more barns. Also place a root cellar.

I placed my barns a bit further away from my village and included a farm next to it making gran and root veggies..... it slowly became a little industry area with 2 smoke houses, its own fire wood splitter and work camp with trees I had to plant manuall.

OP is right. It should be clearly indicated what fodder sources are.
