Scrapping Brahmin pens deplete 20 food

[Lystraeus]

Not sure if this is expected, but when I scrap a tier 3 brahmin pen (16 food in workshop mode & plaque), my food drops by 16 - and then by 4 more, for 20 total.

I've tested blowing up kinggath's mud piles. Doing so drops settlement food by the correct amount.

Edit: I calculated my settlement's food budget, and I think the brahmin milk pen supplies 20 food - rather than 16.

Yeah. It's expected.

The animal pens have different resource outputs (I pointed this out, without getting too specific, in the building's description). For example: with a Brahmin pen you'd get more food, but it'd require more water. A RadRoach pen won't require water, will provide some food but lower happiness. You can compare my plots with SIMS's and check out the differences.


It's still something that I have to iron out, and I'll probably create a sheet with all the outputs at some point, but it's definitively not a bug.

Ahh! I see. I thought that was accounted for - tier 3 mud farms produce 12 food, versus the brahmin pen's (advertised) 16. Didn't realise the description meant a further increase in food. Now I'm curious whether the water need is -8, or greater...
