Beggars Event - Bread and Pork

[Anelya Elder]

Hey ya'll, I looked through the forum but couldn't find this question, so I'll ask it, please tell if if the answer is already elsewhere.

I keep coming up against isuses with the beggars events. I never see to be able to have enough pork or bread to feed them, and cannot seem to stop my fablings from eating vegetables instead. I'll have hundreds of vegetables and 10 bread and still they'll eat the bread, so I can't even save up for 10 or 15 to give the beggars. I tried to disable bread from my granaries so maybe the Fablings wouldn't eat any, but that didn't seem to help. Once I began to make pork, the same issue arose. Is there a simple fix I'm missing? Can you mark on the houses somewhere which food they should prioritise? (I looked for that option, but couldn't find it.)

Thanks for any and all help and suggestions! (Like maybe I'm just supposed to open five bakeries? I don't have quite the same fix for the pork...)

Right now the solution is just to produce surplus. Make more wheat so you can make more flour and more bread and pork. Scale up production and increase the efficiency of chains by ensuring workers are green proximity from home to worksite and that storages are able to get goods where they are needed (placed between production and consumption).

The devs are working on a bunch of tuning and fixes that will make food production easier in the future so this won't be anywhere near as much of a pain point.

I'm sitting here going dude, that's almost all the bread and pork I have in store, and it is in the middle of winter! Why do you always ask for way too much at the worst possible time?
Every time the beggars thing comes up. XP
Honestly, keeping the nobility points might just be the hardest part. Because all those request ask for so much... and then WHAM, the witch again. For like the fourth time. *cires for my little fablings*

Thanks so much for the advice! I guess that's what I'll have to try then ^^'

Agree wholeheartedly, same problems on my end! Every Winter I'm just like, I know I won't be able to afford this!
