Late Game Food never enough

[iProfessore]

I had an island with all 11 foods being sent to Food Markets, the only one not full was Sausage because there are never enough Meat Trimmings, the rest were full conveyers.
At 5500 population that was not enough.
This was easy mode, anymore more must be impossible.
How on earth do can you ever have enough food late game?

Do you have more than one Food Market per food type?

I've been able to feed well more than 5500 people, although not full variety. I wasn't doing Treats, and not much Fruit, and all Corn went to making Ethanol. But it's definitely possible.

I'll try that in future.

I tried two Food Markets with trucks and the second one was ignored. Will try with belts

Hop on Discord and chat with people who run 100,000 people islands with all foods and find out!

I use Trucks to feed to Storages which then Belt the food to multiple tier-2 Food Markets with the same type of Food in both slots. 6 or 8 for Vegetables, 6 or 8 for Bread, 4 or 6 for Potatos, 2 or 3 for Meat, 2 or 3 for Eggs, 2 or 3 for Tofu, etc.

Part of that is just because I like to see 99 months of food in the UI, but also because I've assumed that at one point one Food Market isn't enough.

This is the entirety of food processing for just over 50,000 population:

The stuff in the top/middle right is composting and medical supplies, and there are something like 98 farms (was running +40% on farms for that playthrough, IIRC, so would need closer to 150 on normal settings).

4x market mk2 for each food type, plus 2x WH4

EDIT: you will need some dedicated meat trimming factories (turning chickens directly into trimmings instead of meat+trimmings), especially until all of your buffers are full
