People staying hungry even when food is there

[Lazard]

So i am playing my first game in endless mode right now. For testing purpose i play on a really low difficulty. My storage is full with food but for some reason i have 20-30 people each day who stay hungry. Anyone know why this is happening?

Same thing happens for me, too; even if I had thousands of food rations waiting, some people just won't go and eat. Apparently, the only way of getting them to eat is to shut down entirely their workplaces and waiting several days until they finally realize that they're hungry -- haven't found a better way, yet, and having to just shut down a workplace for days in order to get people to eat is b*llshit.

At least i am not the only one with the issue. ^^
Well none of my people died of starvastion as far as i know even when they where hungry. They must go eat at some point. So its not like i lose people, still the red warning marker is annoying^^

People always become hungry before they eat, nothing strange about that. As long as they aren't ''starving'' its not a bad thing. People will eat automatically, however they won't usually do so during working times.

As long as you dont have food problems, and aren'trunning 24 hour shifts it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Imagine it like this: someone becomes hungry, but their shift still lasts for another 8 hours, so they stay hungry for 8 more hours untill they go eat.

the "hungry" are ppl who are hunting. they will eat at some point don't worry about that. you have to remember that ppl don't go eat until their shift is over. hunters rest for a couple hours after hunting, so i believe that is the cause of the hunger.

dont forget to build a lot of cookhouses
people have to go to them to get food

This happened for me when I decided to do one of those evening sermons with 20 rations in order to boost hope. Everything was fine before I did that and I have thousands of rations. Now I have 5 people who are showing as hungry with the red knife and fork and can't seem to find their way to the cookhouse anymore. Weird.

I just started and had this happen after I removed all the people working in the Cook House; didn't know they actually need people to *serve* them food to eat. As soon as I put a worker back in there, everyone started eating.

I imagine the same thing happens if your Cook House is cold and not functioning (first attempt I had it in the second row where I didn't have heat).

[Tiasmoon]

Even with the cooking house disabled they will still eat. Even without one, they will still eat.

That said, I've encountered a bug a few times where someone would get stuck doing something meaningless. IE: someone died of illness since he was permanently building a storage depot that was already built, one of my scout people was ''going on an expedition'' on the other city of the city, permanently, etc.

I'm encountering the same issue. And in my city, aside from the three scout teams, everything is run by automatons. Literally no one works. I built them a city where they can run and jump and frolic all day, and it seems like all they want to do is sit at home and get hungry.

Fortunately they wise up by the time they start 'starving' but it's still pretty annoying.

click on the hungary people Icon, see thier name and what they are doing and find them and dismiss them instead of shutting down an entire building.

This is very frustrating when you promised people to feed all the hungry......
