Hi uh I've never posted on reddit before but I need some help. I accidently made too many houses and now my two settlements are starving (well, one of them is starving, the other is just barely hanging on) (they're also low on fuel but the starving is more important to me), how can I increase food production? I tried looking up videos on youtube but they all talk about a development points system I don't think exists anymore. I don't want to restart :(

I tried making a bunch of my buildings vegetable smallholdings but that basically collapsed my economy because I did too many and was running out of workers. Does anybody have any ideas???
