Optimal Houses per Market

I started playing again a few weeks ago and I’m struggling to find a ratio of houses to markets that keeps the houses stocked with food.

I don’t need nearly as many buildings for desirability as my older build layouts had so my inclination was just to pack in more housing, but that’s clearly not working at this point.

I have root cellars near my markets to reduce travel distance and L2 markets with 4 grocers, but they just can’t seem to keep the houses reasonably stocked. I’ve tried adding more markets but that doesn’t seem to work any better.

Am I overvaluing having all houses well stocked? Is there a mechanic or layout that I’m missing that makes it easier to keep the houses stocked?

For an upgraded market with 4 workers, I find it’s up to 29

I was definitely overshooting that by quite a bit initially. I had dialed it back closer to 30 but hadn’t tried >30 houses per market yet.

I made this guide for Vanquisher a while back. We have more efficient resource delivery now that would have meant Markets could handle more houses, but that becomes redundant by the time you’ve turned everything into Mansions

Tôi bố trí 1 chợ cho 52 căn nhà cấp độ 5. Mọi thứ đều ổn.
Điều quan trọng là bạn cần xây dựng Root Cellar và Storehouse (và Stockyard) ở gần chợ, đồng thời đặt giới hạn tối thiếu của chúng để những nhân viên ở chợ có thể lấy được những sản phần cần thiết trong thời gian ngắn nhất.
