Market place consumption rate

[GaviJa]

I'm new to anno and I'm confused about the goods distributed by the marketplace.
All the production chains have production rates (like 1t/min). And for the marketplace it's just a bar that says it's full or not. Does your population consumes more goods if you have 100 farmers or 500? It's not clear at all in the menus.

The consumption rate is based on number of residences (short answer, long answer is more complicated and not needed for now).

So 20 Farmer Residences use twice as much stuff as 10 of them.

If you want to know if you produce enough go to the statistics menu and compare the bares, green (production) bar should be full and blue (consumption) bar should be tiny bit less than that, then you have enough of it.

I read the wiki article about production and goods consumption. But in game there is no way to now accurately how much you consume, appart from comparing it with your production rate, right? You just know you're producing enough when green bar > blue bar, as you stated.

The statistics screen tells you production and consumption for everything, including consumer goods.

The wiki has the consumption rates, you can calculate if you want (yes its a bit of work).

For example: A single Schnapps brewery running at 100% can supply 60 Farmer Houses or 30 Worker houses.

So if you have 60 Farmer and 60 Worker houses, you will need 3 of them

I wish the consumption rates would be more detailed in game. All those rates from the wiki should be displayed somewhere.

But they are in the game, as said before:
