Food production Question

Can it produce a surplus per turn?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi All,

In an early game about turn 20 with 2 colonies Earth and Mars.  Earth has two farms and produces four food.  Total food consumption of both planets is 3 food so my stockpile shows 1 food.  My question is, is this number at the top a stockpile because it doesn't change from 1.  I was hoping it would increase every turn and I could build a city but it appears I'm missing something about how food works.

 

Thanks in advance for your response!

No, food doesn't stockpile like a resource such as durantium does. To found another city you need to find more food or get the techs that allow you to upgrade your farms further.
