How do you zoom out like that?  Can you play that way?

So great!  Thanks for this!

It's hard to imagine rice production with no rivers/irrigation or rain.  And there'd have to be some kind of huge payoff as you mention since, in addition to the major water requirement, it's also very labor intensive with paddy field maintenance and transplanting.  All done by hand (not that we have anything more than hoes now...).

This game can't/shouldn't model everything for reasons that are obvious.  Why break things trying to do so? 

"It's supposed to be for when that one guy is running around being an asshole, and you kill him."  This is all well and good but that one guy can do irreversible damage without real consequences before what criminal justice system is possible within the game deals with the issue.  Especially when climbing up the tech tree when griefing potential becomes greater/more impactful.

Well, that's how famines are avoided in real life.

From the Bangladesh Ministry of Food:

<i>Government grain storage capacity stands at 1.62 million tons, largely in the form of traditional warehouses where the average shelf-life of grain is typically less than 12 months. Annual loss in quality is reportedly very high due to lack of proper moisture and temperature control in these facilities and shortcomings in overall grain management. The Ministry of Food (MoF) intends to increase the overall storage capacity to 2.2 million tons by 2015 and 3 million tons by 2021. In this regard, construction is underway for 261 warehouses in different parts of the country with a total storage capacity of 219,000 tons, and a concrete grain silo of 50,000 tons capacity (for wheat) at Mongla Port. In addition, MoF plans to construct eight steel silos (six for rice and two for wheat) with a combined capacity of 535,500 tons under the Modern Food Silo Project. Large-capacity, privately-owned storage is still limited.</i>

Edit: I don't know the HTML codes for italics.  Used to be <i>, no?

Was this done with wooden floors or is there a wooden road recipe?  Is there a stone road recipe?  I can't find...

I understand cynicism but actions have consequences including influencing group behavior.  So do the right thing and hopefully others will notice and follow.

Keep in mind that a functioning society also needs maintenance staff.  Last life I had in a city, because like you I don't really know how to do anything, I spent the hour organizing stuff into baskets, bussing empty plates back to the cook, etc.  It's support work as opposed to direct work like baking pies but it's necessary so that the specialists have easy access to tools/resources such as plates and seeds.  Other people spend their hour on keeping the berry plants watered.  You could always go on long-range dirt hauling trips.  All of that is needed.
