Farm remodeling

[Hepatit]

The first farmhouse i build had 10 plots, needed to delete 2 plots so i can fit a building. Dont really need to move the farm but it doesnt seem the farmhouse rebuilds the plots i destroyed. Is there something i miss or just a feature?

Once you hit medieval age I needed to spam so many more farms. I spent nearly 300 cycles in second age just building farms and upgrading 4 of them to level 3. This needs a second look at.

You did not missed it, on our planning we have an active way to manage fields after the farm is built. Will be in a future patch. :)

A lot of people struggle with it so we'll probably make it easier, because there are some tricks not very intuitive to find.

Here are some tips you can pick to handle food more easily:
- The main one is being sure you build your farms in the safety zone and not the attrition zone.
- Upgrade them to at least level 3.
- Sell your resources which stocks are full to Macellum to buy food, as you can buy more than your storage.
- Keep your Health satisfaction above the first green level to have the -15% food consumption bonus
- Activate the "Plow" Know-How from Library for -25% food consumption bonus
- Play as a Priest level 2 to select the -25% food consumption bonus
- Use the "Chore" decree to increase food production by +15%

(You don't need to apply all of them to have enough food ^_^)

I noticed this too.
I removed a field, that emptied my complete food stocks of +1k food making my citizens very worried of starvation... :O
I built another farm in close proximity to the first, then deconstructed the first. That left the fields, that then got taken over by the new farm, but it did not "build up" to 10 plots like a normal newly built farm would.
I had to deconstruct every single field AND the farm, then rebuild it and it worked.

Glad to see the devs are working on a fix for these issues. :)
