Food, cooking and starvation

[Wolfskrieg]

I have played this several times now and in every single one, when I get to over 50 people my people starve to death. I search all the buildings locally and collect food. I set up multiple farms and kitchens and they still cannot make enough food to keep them alive. It appears that the kitchens take a very long time to make food. Around 12 hrs I think. This seems way too long. Either make the meals a lot more per cooking session or drastically reduce the cooking time.
Anyone got a way around starving to death every game?

Thx

Science, Research All the food options, use fertiliser on all fields. build barns as soon as possible and cook meet.

it shouldnt take 12 hours to cook a meal, unless the kitchen is very small or you're understaffed. how many people are you employing in each kitchen? for 50 people, 10 cooks should be more than enough.

There's definitely something screwy with food production at the cookhouses. My game had 90+ meat and 30 assigned workers at the cookhouse, yet no rations were being produced. Switched to grain based rations and all of a sudden had 30.

We're working on it. Changes to the balance will be soon introduced and tested on open beta branch.
