I recently moved my Hideout to a new port. This port has no trade fleets or plantations that would effect resources. I purchased the same amount of Food, Rum and Tobacco and started producing gold bars. (150,000 each)
Fast forward a few days, the Gold Smith is consuming more Rum than Tobacco and it is also chewing through more Tobacco than Food.
I found this odd as the rate of consumption for each resource is listed as equal, per hour.
I don't fear death. I look forward to it with great anticipation. For then I will met God face to face and let him know that I stole his Man of War!!!
