It must be noted here that the food decayed is about 1% of the total food stock in normal conditions. The exact amount depends on the formula as provided above. So if a province has 300,000 bushels of food in stock and no action by vermin then the expected decay is slightly more than 3000 bushels per tick / Utopia day. There may be scenarios where the total food decayed, is higher than what remains after food needed by the population is consumed from the food grown. This may lead to depletion of the stock in the province especially after a war when the people are much lesser compared to the maximum population limit and the stored food may be much higher or when a new player has built a lot of farms / received aid as food. This will normalize once the population reaches back to expected levels and the province only needs to ensure that the food grown is more than the food needed by the population at all times so as to avoid starvation.

This is part of the Utopia WIKI Formula Series.

THIS PAGE attempts to list formulas as relevant to Food. If you would like to add a new formula feel free to include it within the text. Ensure that you check the discussions page for Food to ensure that this formula is not under discussion/research, or contribute your research there if you do feel so inclined.


Food is a resource, and it is needed to keep population of a Province alive. It's measured in bushels.

Food Consumed

Bushels Eaten = Total Population * 0.25 * Race


Condition Modifier
Race: Undead 0
Race: Other 1


  • Undead population isn't alive, so no food required to make it not dead.
  • If a province has zero food, it will enter into a state of starvation. While a province is starving, its population (peasants, military units and thieves) will die off at a rate proportional to the food deficit. Wizards are not affected. This rate is capped at 5% and will continue until the province has a value for food greater than 0.

Food Produced

Base Food Production     = ((Farms * 70) * Building Efficiency) + (Barren Land * 2)
 
Modified Food Production = Base Food Production * Food Sciences * Fertile Lands Mod * Drought Mod


Condition Modifier
Fertile Lands 1.25
Drought 0.75


Food Decayed

Food Remaining = Food Stock * (1 - (0.01 * Vermin Mod)) + Modified Food Production - Bushels Eaten

It must be noted here that the food decayed is about 1% of the total food stock in normal conditions. The exact amount depends on the formula as provided above. So if a province has 300,000 bushels of food in stock and no action by vermin then the expected decay is slightly more than 3000 bushels per tick / Utopia day. There may be scenarios where the total food decayed, is higher than what remains after food needed by the population is consumed from the food grown. This may lead to depletion of the stock in the province especially after a war when the people are much lesser compared to the maximum population limit and the stored food may be much higher or when a new player has built a lot of farms / received aid as food. This will normalize once the population reaches back to expected levels and the province only needs to ensure that the food grown is more than the food needed by the population at all times so as to avoid starvation.
