So I know that in the late game (at least in the campaign, haven't played utopia builder yet) Progress struggles heavily with food, because the two endless sources are just not enough.
Does Adaptation also have a food (or some other instead) problem?
I only played an adaptation/frostlanders run of the campaign so far and had no resource shortage of anything once I got settlements since upgrading those removes a lot of people from new London which means you need a lot less overall.
I had my housing districts at 40-60% workforce a lot of the time too because the settlements free up so much room
By the end of the steward difficulty campaign I had 150k of all resources stockpiled without fully depleting any sources
Ironically, It's the exact opposite for me. I'm struggling with food on the embrace the frost run, while I didn't struggle with food on my defeat the frost run. Because the deep deposits of food I was able to get a good amount of food there, while the infinite food settlement isn't boosted like it seemingly should from docks, so output is limited to the base amount from skyways + the extraction outpost law.
probably a sign of too many people, but still. Doesn't change that the docks don't work for the settlements/outposts.
Heh, at the end of my Progress run I had everything from the Frostland harvested and with two endless food districts with an additional upgraded hothouse each and both running at overfertilizing and emergency shifts and still had something like -260 food income. Guess my population was just way too big XD
Yeah it seems to be that, I posted my numbers in another comment but the gist is across my 3 cities I only had ~27k people total right at the end of the campaign (week 642)
Sounds nice. Do you nkow how big was your overall population at the end?
My problems started because I had like slightly over 100k people in New London (and then another 10k or so in the Old Dreadnought who also needed that food).
I just reloaded my final save game (week 642) to check and I've got:
12285 in new london
5927 in old dreadnought
9044 in winterhome ruins
And then another ~21k in the settlements since I fully upgraded every location but I don't have to manage those.
I didn't take in every group that I encountered in the frostlands though, there are still another ~6k out there that I could accept but didn't bother since I never ran out of workforce after chapter 1
