-7 Food on turn 1?

from GalCiv4 Forums

Turn 1, I start with -7 food? After I make almost everyone a farmer? Seems like I never would have made it to the stars.... :)

I have never seen this before with this civ or any other. Was something changed with starting core worlds?

I have started/played three more games in a row with -5/-7 food on turn 1.

Is this a feature now? :)

Should all civ's start with enough food to feed all the people on the home/core world?

I'm not sure how you would get a planet with 0 food.  What kind of planet is your race choosing?

Looks like Paradise  in the ICOS system.

I made 1 change and I have some food on turn 1.

I changed from ICOS to MINOS system.

Left planet type on Paradise.

I guess, the Yor system must overwrite the food output at some point and set it to 0.
