Lightning Struck Granary all food gone what do I do?

[ZoroTheBold]

Lightning struck the main granary and I lost 300 points of food instantly. What do I do? How do I recover from this? I am now stuck between 20-40 food in a town with tons of families. Sometimes we're on the verge of starving and the fields aren't producing. I can't make enough money to give everyone chickens or vegetable patches but even then they barely help. Any advice?

guess make multiple granary will save u in next run
i wonder if water well next to granary will save it or not. last run i didnt even notice the fire until the building is completely burned to ash

Does pop die from hunger?
I don't think so. I just see an hunger alert. And I just ignore them.

Market stalls teleport their goods to the nearest house but because of how stalls are allocated they can actually fail to deliver food to the houses furthest away, I decided to build a little satellite community for farm tending and they never saw any food, not enough to bring approval down but no one ever died.

I believe if you lack food for your overall population for a certain amount of time people will start leaving due to low approval but famin doesn´t seem a thing currently.

To me, hunger just prevent upgrade and a approval. So as long as it not too bad. Just ignore them. Upgrade those building that can and ignore those cannot.

Unlike those I must eat food or die game this game is quite relax here.

The problem I'm asking for help here if anyone can help me, is how to get out of a huge food deficit because if I do not get out of it soon I quite literally cannot progress through the ranks from here on.

I have a water thingy next to everything so far lightning strikes makes fire and villagers put it out and repair it. Be it a market or storage places. So far anyway.

To get more food build a vegie patch on each Burgage. This will help supply the markets and the markets deliver food around the town.

In your experience are veggie patches or chicken coops better for food? Or a mix of both?

Absolutely, my peeps now get eggs as well.
