Rationing and the Granary
When you build a Granary the food in your starting goods will be transferred to it and the game will begin.
This panel lets you see your food details and allows you to make changes to your rationing. On the right of this panel there are five plates with varying amounts of food on them, which symbolize the different ration settings from 'no rations' up to 'double
rations'. Reducing your rations below the default of 'full rations' will have a negative effect on your popularity whereas increasing them will have a positive effect. You will see the rate of consumption sumption by watching the speed of the bar in the granary panel or by watching the units of food disappear from your granary
