Unluckily for you, you didnt spawn with boost resource (which is choosen at random), but anyway you've found 5 of it somewhere, futhermore you could buy it from the marketplace, there is ~100 availableĤ) Idk at which point you recognized your food deficit, but it was questionable decision to choose Transvine as system upgrade resource, while having access to RedSang.
Without the boost it's negative while replenishing manpower, positive otherwise. From your save I activated the boost, bought a few ships to waste manpower, and upgraded main sustem to 3rd population - it was still positive on food. It would cost you 4 superspuds per 10 turns and would drastically boost your outputs, food included. It will pass.ģ) You haven't activated population luxury boost.
Your manpower reserves will in turn replenish themselves consuming quite a bit of your food production. 40 men for scouts, 100 for normal ships (like the one you bought), 220 for arks. Then it will replenish its crew from your manpower reserve. When you build or buy a ship (Ark included), it spawns with 0 crew.
I'm not a Vodyani player, but I've heard that on slower speeds they indeed tend to die of starvation, because of. Your food problem comes from:ġ) Slow gamespeed setting.
