[1.5.0(d050)] Sector pops not eating food

[7EA]

I just made my first sector in Utopia/Banks.

One planet with 5 pops.

Immediately I get +5/month extra food for my stockpile.

I tried disbanding the sector, to see what would happen.

The extra food/month is immediately lost.

So the conclusion is that those pops are not eating any food. or am I wrong?

Is this a bug or working as intended?

By the way, the planet produces no food of it's own.

Did you wait until the next month and see if it fixed itself then?

 

[7EA]

Yes, and I just tried again.
Also tried letting more months go by, and disbanding and recreating the sector multiple times.
It does take a new month for it to update the food production, when creating the sector, but it's still +5.
I'm effectively producing 25.93 food for 25 pops and somehow getting +5.93 food per month.

I also tried restarting the game of course.

I was wondering about this as well. In my current game, I'm about 60 years in with 6 planets (2 in sectors, 1 planet per).

My 4 core worlds have this food production:
Capital: 14 Food
World 2: 0 Food
World 3: -2 Food
World 4: -4 Food

My Sectors are like this:
Sector 1: 0 Food (in the Planets and Sectors page)
- World 5: -5 Food

Sector 2: 0 Food
- World 6: -6 Food

My Global Food (top bar) is listing as 1000+7 (at cap). Breakdown in tooltip is:
- Monthly Gain: +7.55
- Pitharan Dust: +10%
- Produced: +7.55

Look at the math, my food should be in the negative:
14 -2 -4 -5 -6 = -3

So my guess is that it is only counting my Core Worlds (since both sectors are showing 0 Food overall, even though they should be negative):
14 -2 -4 = 8

This leads me to conclude that sectors are bugged and not consuming food (at least not reliably), as every once in a while I will notice the sector food numbers swap to what they should be (negatives), but the next month they jump back to 0.

I can confirm this bug,

Sectors show food outpot 0, but by the fact they have -10 and -6 on each planet.

Some period they begin to show real numbers, but then it's going bacl to 0 again

I noticed any negative food in sectors seems to reset to 0 at the end of the month. If it's positive it doesn't seem to do this. If you give them resources it updates (until the end of the month)

Hi everyone, thanks for the reports, we reproduced the issue and added it to our database so we can work on a fix.

Same issue here and on top of that they use 0 of the food tiles despise having the "respect tile" option checked.
