ARE EGGS BROKEN? SO IS HONEY ?

[Mr Spartacus]

Well i cant seem to get any of the eggs from chicken coops even though there was a lot of them and honey gathering is also soo small in comparison to (apples, veggies,bread and berries)->THEY FEED MOST. Meat from hunting is fine but DID NOT TEST FROM ANIMAL PENS AND BUTCHER

ANYONE GOT ANY EXPERIENCE OR KNOWLEDGE WITH THAT ty.

[The Emperor Of Milfgaard]

They are garbage and irrelevant right now, don't use them.

Chicken coops still produce 1 unit of food per month. Honey has one of the worst worker/produce output ratios but can still provide plenty of food, if you build plenty of apiaries, each staffed with 1 family, around a large granary wholly dedicated to gathering only honey.

You can only build two apiaries in each province, more will not benefit production. At least that is what it says in the game.

what about butcher+ breeding sheep, pig and goat pen?

You can make that work, I suggest to build mostly pig pens and get sheep breeding going. I usually let them grow to 200 sheep and then slaughter spree down to 50. Esp nice with rich salt deposit in the province ofc since you can make sausages. I had a steady surplus of sausages and meat in a 1.5k pop city.

That tool tip is incorrect. you can have over 2 per region as has been proven.

I wonder how many you need to get a hoeny surplus in a town of 1.5k+ pop. 100?

Just out of curiosity, what is that last "100" for (on your sentence)?
Am I just having a brain cramp?
I read it several times, and it still confuses me.

He's asking if you need 100 apiaries to get a honey surplus in a town of 1.5k+ pop haha

I wonder if it really was that hard to understand?

Fair enough...
In my defence, it was almost 3:00 AM, and I probably wasn't thinking straight.
Cheers. No harm, no foul.

Stick to Veg, Berries and Hunting, Eggs are ok. but only produce 1 egg per month so don't expect an omelette any time soon. Apples are good but take a long time to get started.

[Razorblade Nipples]

Honey is mostly for two things - adding food variety for happiness and giving passive wax for more income. Just like IRL it's not designed to be a main food source. Eggs do seem a bit slow though, their output could be doubled and it would feel a lot better.

I never build such stupidly huge cities, because it is exponentially easier to supply a smaller town with food than it is to supply a huge city.

But the largest town I ever tried to supply with honey was 500+ pop, and that needed 24 apiaries (1 family each) around 2 dedicated "honey only!" granaries (fully staffed) to generate a decent surplus (~ 500+ honey in stock).

Due to spoilage, eggs do not generate large surplus amounts any more. They have become a purely supplemental food group. The more chicken coops you have, the faster you can generate surplus of major food groups, though... such as meat, veggies, apples and bread.

Chicken coops are solid, after the initial cost it is just automated.

Yes 1 egg a month but if you have 4 food sources, say Meet, fish and bread then you only need eggs on a quarter of your properties and you have a constant supply of your 4th food sources with zero maintenance needed.

So a population of 100, with 3 other food sources means you need 25 homes with eggs at a cost of 625 regional wealth for a 4th food sources.
The advantage is it then reduces quantities needed for the other food sources.

So take the above example before eggs you needed 33 meat (round down), with eggs you need 25. So you save 8 meat a month if I recall meat sells for 3 per unit and so per month you make an additional 24 regional wealth per month and this is true of the other 2 food sources so now you can potentially sell 72 worth of food to the market.
You have paid the egg costs back in 8 months. And all with very little input from you work force.
