Food, production, draft count

[PsychoDD]

So where I can see how much food, production and draft I have????? The city shows only the income.

[⎝Wyrd Deofol⎠]

That's it. You don't keep it, you use it.

There's no stocking of those, they are used as they are produced.

Food is used to grow your city.
Production is used for building structures. If no structure is being built, production is converted into gold at a 0.25 efficiency rate.
Draft is used to recruit units. If no unit is being recruited, draft is converted into food at a 0.25 efficiency rate.

Not sure what happens with Food, if anything, if you ever reach a maximum city size. In Planetfall you could share food with other cities, but that isn't the case here.

Pretty sure everything in this game is hidden in a hover, even hovers within hovers. It's like pointing one mirror at another one. Whoa!

More seriously, I know what you mean. I picked up some food on the map, and it added to my "food." What food is that? My "total" food? The nearest city food? Guess it's time to hover like mad. Let me know if you find it!

The tooltip for the pickup indeed mentions exactly what city it will add to., probably the nearest.

Not only that, the tooltip also mentions how much the pickup will change the current growth time.

Would have to load up the game to check...



> Food obviously gets used up by growth, and population has upkeep too. Don't know yet if there is food sharing like in Planetfall for when cities are maxed out?


> Production cannot be stocked, as it gets converted in a 25% ratio to gold if you don't queue a building by the end of the turn.

However before ending a turn, you should have a stock of whatever overflow you have from the last produced building, and any production pickups you get during the turn.


> Haven't checked how Draft works, probably the same. Otherwise you could stock up for 20 turns and insta-build a whole army in a random village.

How there is no stockpile? I mean to build a building it costs me 250 production units while my production rate is +22. It means there is some kind of invisible stockpile of production.

[CrUsHeR]

The city will construct it over time.

Example if the building requires 250 production, your city has 22 production output, it would take 12 turns to complete.

And you would have a bit of remaining surplus production, making the next building shorter or increasing the "merchandise" function (when you have no building queued)

the eureka i had readings those comments🤦‍♂️

[DesertRose92]

If you have Production or Draft "saved", e.g. because the last finished building did not required the whole production of the last turn to complete, you should be able to see the stockpile when you hover over the production symbol in the town.

If you have not selected a building / unit to produce / train when you hit END TURN the stockpiled resources are turned into gold / food.
