EDIT FROM THE FUTURE-To be completely honest I ended up getting MCM installed down the road and I was simply lacking in settlement production. Water was far easier to solve than food ultimately. My own takeaway from this is probably don't use city plans exclusively as I was, and it's probably a good idea to at least venture into advanced plots before HQ costs start piling up. That last part is a guess that I'm testing on a new playthrough
Hi all, I checked forum rules before posting and went through about 5 pages of forum searches for my issue before posting, so I feel justified in saying this info is at least hard to find.
At this point I have 20 supply lines arranged to almost my whole empire, two each of cafeteria and dining hall set up, and have otherwise built everything I can think of to shore up food/water logistics. I do see some fluctuation with the water, potentially due to deserters (just turned off) or perhaps the optimization of settlements through the comm array that you see working away in the corner. Does anyone know what the heck is going on here or how I can fix this? I'm going to work on getting MCM installed in a second for better info, but for the life of me I just can't figure this out. And yes, my settlements are producing what should be plenty of excess food and water, I estimate around 200 of each should be available.
My second question: I'm also looking at eventually doing a second playthrough on component difficulty, and my current playthrough I decided to use the RotC city plans for every settlement and had some murkiness with changing mods partway through, not to mention using the in game mod support(steam/PC) for some mods and nexus for others. I think almost everything is relatively functional, but with all that and beginner mistakes and the fact that I started this save before the next-gen update, should I just be starting that component difficulty playthrough with a fresh install list from nexus rather than continuing this one? Curious as to peoples' thoughts here.
