@Demagorddon thanks for the fixes that is awesome.
I unfortunately left my game on my desktop, and won't be back until Sunday, I also didn't do anything intelligent like save the game as a text file so I'll have to wait to play, since I'd rather continue from where I was than start again on a different machine, still thanks a lot for the fix I look forward to seeing where things are going.
@masackru, To add farmers just use the "add farmer" button, however obviously you need unemployed population to add first. check the top of the civics tab and it'll list how many unemployed people you have.
You can get more people by building dwellings for your species, or getting the farm houses research and then building farms.
Note that though you can ahve as many farmers or stone masons as you like, other jobs need a certain number of work buildings, EG you can employ two miners for each mine you build, and one professor for each university.
Btw, I'm not sure at the moment whether its better for your food/stone output to build more farms/stone quarries, or employ more farmers/stone workers, I'm not sure if this info is listed anywhere in the game since I checked mouseovers for both stone quarries and farms and didn't find an answer so any info appreciated.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
