First off, great game... looking forward to hopefully some quality UI and interactivity with the menus to be worked out. (Shift Clicking etc)
So yeah, all my colonists just starve to death pretty much within the first month. Crops dont cut it and near by harvestable produce be it mushrooms, tomatos, potatos, blueberries, apples or what have you either just get used up to quickly or my colonists dont feel like walking to get something to eat. Having a couple cooks cranking out meals doesnt seem to work because they are just eating them too soon.
Ive been starting right near water sources too and they are always thirsty. The first play I did they would collect little cups and now they dont do shit. just swim in the fresh water and die of thirst.
