I've done some more testing and am getting very strange results. I
performed a test using the following econfig settings:
# Amount of food to mature 1 baby into a civilian
babyeat 0.000
# Food eating rate for mature people
eatrate 0.0000
# Food cultivation rate (* workforce in sector)
fcrate 1.00
# Food growth rate (* fertility of sector)
fgrate 1.00
These settings should mean pop growth is zero and no food is consumed
by civs. I placed 100 civs in a wilderness sector with 120 fertility.
In the first update (a 60 ETU update) 30 food was produced. I left the
food in the sector and after the next update no food was produced. I
found that if I moved all food out of the sector I would get 30 food
produced but if even 1 food was left in the sector then no food was
produced.
I am either doing something very wrong or food production is not
working to the way I think it should.
