Where Do I Check for My Food Stores?

Asked in quick answers and no response. Does anyone know?

Longest shut in ever, from the fear of Smallpox.

Cannibalism is quite amusing though.

As far as I know, it's an invisible countdown that only reveals itself at a known point, and goes down based on event decisions. Perhaps the surprise of running out of food x months deep into seclusion is why we cannot manually check.

Fair enough. Though I gotta say, that is an long lasting epidemic (sitting on my capital for nearly 4 years.)

Also again, cannibalism is amusing.

The initial 'food stores are low' event is random as far as I can tell (I haven't checked the files, but it's probably a standard MTTH while secluded). I've had it fire the same month I shut the gates, and I've had it not fire at all during a two year long seclusion.

Once the event fires, you start with 5 food stores remaining, and you have to count every event that reduces or increases them if you want to know what you're currently at. Not sure what happens when you hit 0, cause it's never happened for me, luckily.

Pretty much the a rapidly increasing health debuff from the lack of food modifier. I imagine at 0 you lose a good chunk of health and that basically guarantees you'll die soon.
