BUG! No food supply!

[Nooblets]

I've played the demo twice and on the first go everything was fine.
But on the second go the trade ships stopped bringing food for no reason.
even when I made a 2nd ship and told it to bring food it did nothing and everyone was starving to death

Build a bunch of Refractories

[KitsuneZA]

i had built 4 refractories and every one still dies.

[Nooblets]

its not that the Refractories are empty and the ships are not doing anything even when selected to get food

[KoV]

So they doing a hunger strike ?

[Alaric the Visgoth]

If nothing wrong with Refractories, is there a working/functional stockpile nearby? And by working I mean at least one square of the entry/exit arrow must be COVERED by at least one square of road. Otherwise bldg isn't connected to road and the NPCs can't deliver food from stockpiles to refractory.

[Alaric the Visgoth]

If stockpile (and supply warehouses) are full/working and so not the issue, consider this: Did you exceed the amount of time in the tutorial to leave the milky way system using the VHOLE? There is a LIMITED amount of food supply in this tutorial. Your trade ship can only return to the neighboring planet for food supplies so many times.

Did you reach that part in tutorial where DOLOS sends you that final extra crew/food supplies? If so, then that's pretty much it for any more food supplies. The only way you'll beat the prologue at that point ( without starting over ) is to build the jump drive and leave the moon's orbit ASAP

all this tech, intergalactique travel and no farm in spacecraft.... living in 10 m of supermarket and starve

The same, on my first play I just went to the moon and everything was find.
But when I went to the other planet missions the cargo ships just stopped.

Refractories its cantine not greenhouse.
Refractories not producing food, only gives food to the colonist.

Same here, after one carrying food from the external station, there is n ofood anymore availabale. Demo ended...

Yea food is broken, you MUST trade the food from the trade-company to survive. I build Refactories in mass as they state "can supply up to 100 people" but if they are indeed just distribution and no production, then that is worded super poorly and needs a better description, or call it a freaking "Market".

[Cila1]

I noticed after a few tries you could send your cargo to pickup food. Oh don't forget about the selection in the menu (setting mine to medium priority did it ok)

That isn't a bug. There might be a bug, but needing the food import that is provided isn't one.

The name may be obscure but I don't see how you could read the description and think it is a farm rather than a cafeteria.
