This means that the only food available has to come from the handful of cities nearby where food grows. As a resource runner who supplies a mountain community, I have already found myself (in the Seatown area) unable to gather food at all.
Sounds like a good basis for trade negotiations to me
... You can refuse the export of limestone to Seatown, for example ... This will force Seatown to produce more food to be able to support their import of limestone, which will force them to get food from outside Seatown ... in other words, in my opinion this change should lead to more international trade. So far, Seatown could always produce enough food, because there was an unlimited supply given enough people - now there is a limit, creating more interesting economic situations. I don't think this will lead to the starvation of Akypor. It's still an important source of goods for other towns - otherwise Akypor would never have grown this big, as it is far from any original spawning location.
But I noticed, that when it works like that, it work in all locations or in none, so I think it is not that. I also saw one character once, which said that he can't really participate in any project, even after clicking on "P" icon. But personaly I have not noticed that. Is there any error message or something when there is no free slot? How it works?
