No what i mean is, i made another outpost that there is no food bonus and the reason i put it there is that a gold mine nearby. So there another important structure nearby but two clicks away. So i wasnt sure how i will get this outpost big enough to cover that many ground esp without foods. Would make more sense having caravans carrying foods there, but they have to keep doing it to keep the population up. Just like in real life siutations. Foods shouldnt be in the pool, infact nothing should be except golds. Sometime stockpiling resources can go bad or losing 50% of the time that will go spoil.
If you build a settlement that provide resources, that settlement only provide resouces unless can be transported to destination to improve other settlements.
