Markus Armbruster 7da69c92e0 Don't use automatic supply to avoid starvation at the update
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

.SY "starv l <UNITS>"
