Beta 3 .60 Yor planet screen still shows "Food"

I don't know if this is intentional or a mistake, but the planet screen for Iconia (and I assume other planets colonized by the Yor) still list food as a resource:

It's not a big deal to me but it seems contrary to your design direction for the Yor.

there are a couple more bugs here as well

2) any other planet colonized by the yor shows a "food" value of 10 it should be 20 (AFAIK)

3) this food value is affected by food % bonus's from the planet which it shouldnt

4) this food value does not increase when you research population techs

the population seems to work correctly (ive only had about an hour to play) however it just seems to be displaying the wrong value

While food shows up on Yor plants, it is irrelevant. The stat has to stay around, however, because it becomes relevant if the planet is conquered. If you mouse over your population, you get a tool tip that shows current population/max population. It would be nice if you could find max pop of a Yor planet without having to check a tool tip, but it isn't a bug per se

I think of the Vor food as energy.

While i understand the value of food needs to stay around the info should change to he appropriate field for the yor.

As long as the value remains in the mai. Screen it will be cunfusing to people playing the yor

Wouldn't another race if they took over Iconia require food, so would use that resource?  And the original Iconians would have used food before they left the planet, so the food should probably be there, even if the Yor don't use it.

I don't see why it would be so hard to give it a different name when the Yor are inhabiting the planet, and switch back to "Food" if the planet is taken over by another race.  Also, I found a "Wild Grain" tile on another planet that gives a population boost.  Why would the Yor care about Wild Grain?  I assume if I build a Power Matrix there it would get the same population boost, but maybe for the Yor those resource tiles could also be named something different?

No the yor planets should not say food, we just have not fixed it yet. 

Thanks for the feedback.

What if another race takes over Iconia, they'll get no food?

were not talking about getting rid of food for iconia 

what we are asking for is appropriate information show up for people playing as the yor. 

the amount of food available is useless info to the yor so why have it on the main planet screen and at the same time bury the vital information of population cap for the yor

I hear you.  Maybe they could just change the label from Food to something elee when playing the Yor.

No, it's just a UI change. The food stat will still be there, it just won't be visible to Yor players.
