Food and VM

Recommended Posts

I don't think it will be that surprising if we see a lot of nations migrate to vacation mode to avoid having no food for an extended period of time. Is there something to be done to deal with this if it comes up, or am I ridiculous for thinking it will even be a problem?

The no food penalties aren't all that bad in peace time, but if the war is still going on they are really just free piles of loot (except for food) to whoever attacks them. So they would basically just do it to dodge getting their other goods/money looted without any chance of retaliation.

I don't think it would be a problem.

Having 2/3 income is infinitely better than having 0 income because you don't generate anything in VM, so I don't see why people would go into VM to avoid running out of food.

Will a couple of people do it because they don't know any better? Maybe, but oh well. It won't happen en-masse.

Anyone who is thinking of going to VM because they are scared of running out of food should just delete their nation now.

I'm a little late to the party, but it is an interesting thought.

Right now the penalty for running out of food isn't much. However, if that were to be made more severe, I could see this being an issue. On the other hand, with the resource production change I think food will be more abundant and unless there's a quick turnaround before the next global nuclear war, I don't think anyone will reasonably run out of food again.

Even during the last war, food was still for sale, albeit at high prices. I don't think there was ever a time where it was impossible to buy food.
