You can use them from the empire management screen.

its a good way to get the ball rolling on a new city, so is diplomacy with the minor factions, it great to be able to start with 3 population instead of 1

ok thanks :)
no i saw it in the management screen
but it is kinda stupid in my opinion :/
i am using 'industry' to make FOOD stockpiles?

btw are the luxuary bonus temporarily?

Not so stupid. Better than letting a city's industry go to waste with an empty build queue.

Stockpile some stockpiles to get your next city up and running faster.

I figure your turning your factories into temporary hydro farms or slaughter houses. Dry or can the goods to ship somewhere else.

It's just the prod to dust/research/food conversion mechanic with the added ability to transfer to other cities.
