What i don't understand about the Kaiserreich mod...

Let's say Germany defeats France somehow in WW1, not entirely farfetched when it comes to althistory? But then what? Take out the Russians if they haven't already is one thing to do, but Britain is still blockading your country and starving you out, and then perhaps USA joins later on in?

Well, the English are blockading you... but at this point you are also blockading the English. The whole continent is under your control or under your influence. With Ukraine and France, your population is not starving anymore (the food situation was better for Germany in 1918 than it was in 1917). I don't see the British landing anywhere, so well it is a stalemate, except Germany gets to dictate its condition in the East.

But who will feed the Ukrainians and French if Germany takes it all?

France and Ukrainians have surplus. Not that feeding the French or Ukrainians would be seen (or was seen, in the case of the Ukrainians) as important for the Second Reich.

Not all points of divergences in Kaiserreich are the most plausible ones, but that isn't what makes it interesting, it is rather all the work the developers put into research and content to make the world feel like it is realistic. That being said nothing is set in stone in history, so considering how things could have gone differently is a good way of understanding why things happened like they did. I think that is rather what one should take out of Kaiserreich.

The fundamental point is that, according to the alt history, they didn't beat Britain.

As the posters above say, a continued blockade hurts both Germany and Britain. Rather than go through with the grind, the two countries came together, acknowledged the harm they could do to eachother and acknowledging they could not finally beat the other, and so signed peace.
