More Food, Glorious Food

[Shakyr]

Food itself is should be a game on it's own. I mean who doesn't love trying to cook a turkey, without setting the kitchen on fire.

As such, I think we should expand the game to include the following. Note: All times are Game Time, not Real Time.

Raw Resource Improvements:

• Grain Farm (replaces existing Farm)
  • Produces Grain, 20% more in Summer, 20% less in Winter
  • Same Costs as existing Farm
• Livestock Farm
  • Produces Raw Meat, 20% more in Spring, 20% less in Winter
  • Pollution +5
  • Operating Cost $500/day

Manufacturing Improvements:

• Bakery
  • Consumes Grain to Produce Bread.
• Camp Kitchen
  • Consumes Raw Meat to Produce Steak.
• Canning Factory
  • Consumes Meat and Aluminum to produce Canned Food.

New Resources:

• Grain/Raw Meat
  • Cannot be used to support a Population
  • Grain will expire after 3 months
  • Raw Meat will expire after half a month
• Bread
  • Can be used to support Population
  • Provides no Bonus
  • Will expire after 3 months
• Canned Food
  • Can be used to support a Population
  • -2% Gross Revenue
  • -10% Soldier Effectiveness
  • Will expire after a year
• Steak
  • Can be used to support a Population
  • +2% Gross Revenue
  • +10% Solider Effectiveness
  • Will expire after a month

New Project

• Frozen Storage (I suck at Names)
  • Bread, Raw Meat and Steak can be kept for up to a year
  • Steak has half the normal Bonus.

New Gameplay Mechanic

• Food Expiry
  • Any Food created will expire
  • Expired Food is removed every turn
  • If you run out of Food due to it all Expiring, all cities gain +5% Disease

This seems like an incredibly convoluted system for something that doesn't need it imho.
Although I am a big fan of convoluted systems I would prefer that effort to go to more interesting mechanics.
