Question about wasted food

[MMX5000]

This might have already been asked but how is wasted food calculated. I noticed a few turns ago in one of my games that my capital, which up until that point had 450ish wasted food suddenly had only ~40 wasted food. This of course made my city suddenly grow explosively from pop size 40 to 53. Then at 53, wasted food went back to 450ish. Now that the city is 58, wasted food is once again almost non-existant, while all of my smaller cities, (all ~30 pop) still have 300+ wasted food.

Also in case it matters, the version of C2C I am playing I downloaded Feb 21, but I am not sure what version number that corresponds to.

It should dpend only on the city population and excess food before wastage. The exact calculation chnaged about a month or so ago, so I'm unsure if you are running the before or after change version (but eiter way it only should depend on thsoe two factors). Ideally make save games (and screenshots to go with if possible) of both the high and low wastage for the same city next time it flips (i.e. - take one screenshot + save now, and next time you see it flip take another then post both)

Okay now its even MORE weird. First of all, it only happens in my capital, not my other cities, even when the other cities are at the same exact population. Second, after I load a save game where the wasted food was near zero, it corrects itself back to ~450. Must just be some weird bug.

Whats going on, how come my cities now are shrinking even tho they have surplus food? See in this image it says
Net Food: +10
But it shows -15 food and growth is negative.

Spoiler :

I've posted this before but still haven't got a response. I have up to date svn and this suddenly only happened in the last week. Can't continue my game coz obviously this is a bug and its been like 5 days with no c2c, im starting to get withdrawals

As far as I know nobody else has this. Without a save game I can't attempt to analyse what's causing it, and until yesterday I've been very busy and not really looking for posted save games so much. If you already posted it please link to the post in a reply here, or else post it in a response.

I think I've pinned down the cause of this. Hope to have a fix tomorrow sometime.

no rush whatsoever.. kinda won that game anyway, got all of asia/india/japan and 7x average gnp
Otto's were scary but i killed two of his SoD and nearly halved his power bar lol.

Crap! Just happened in my new game too =( one city has +49 net food but is like -20 food and shrinking.. must be to do with some kind of compatibility problem once i apply svn changes.. its weird that no-one else has had this tho, puzzling..
