Food supply during update adds complexity to the update. How much good it does to players is highly doubtful; certainly nobody can rely on it. It isn't covered by the starvation command. Starving ships or land units can steal enough food from their sector to make it starve, too. Finally, the supply code is notoriously hard to use correctly. We don't know of issues with the update's use, but we haven't convinced ourselves that there aren't any either.

.TH Command STARVATION

.NA starvation "Find out who's going to starve"

.LV Basic

.SY "starvation [<SECTS>|l <UNITS>|s <SHIPS>]"
|
|
The starvation command warns you of possible starvation in your
|
|
sectors, land units, and ships.
|
|
.SY starv
|
|
With no arguments, the starvation command will list all of your
|
|
sectors, land units, and ships that will starve at the update.
|
|
.SY "starv <SECTS>"
|
|
.s1
|
|
With this syntax, the starvation command displays all sectors in
|
|
<SECTS> that currently do not have enough food. It does not take into account
|
|
emergency food growing.
|
|
It also does not worry about feeding babies... it merely
|
|
check for starvation. If you want population increase,
|
|
you'll need to chuck in some extra food...

|

For example:
|
|
.EX starv #0

.NF
