We had calculated the legacy food values wrong.
In legacy livestock ate...
Livestock: 0.5 liters of swill/day
Pregnant Livestock: 5 liters of swill/day when pregnant
Chickens: 0.5 liters of swill/day
Chicks: 0.2 liters of swill/day
Livestock is now set to eat
Livestock: 1 liter of swill/day
Pregnant Livestock: 5 liters of swill/day when pregnant
Chickens: 0.3 liters of swill/day
Chicks: 0.1 liters of swill/day
To me, this seems entirely fair. I don't think that livestock should (as they did in Legacy) eat less than chickens. Chickens have, for that matter, been lowered.
i dont know if its "entirely fair" when farming takes longer. we only had to wait for less than a day to fix our trough numbers when we could actually harvest carrots 3 times a day, at least once a day with beetroots in legacy. even in legacy, you couldnt take a break so easily when you had cattles and always had to ask another to take after them. (i did of course tried not to let them mate at least a few days before i took a break to make sure it wont fuck up)
making the game challenging must be an important factor for us to enjoy it, but also, making it simple and easy is also an important factor for us to enjoy it, not overly complicated or tough, especially time and labor load-wise.
