Well perhaps we should make a suggestion and let the player pick the interval they want (between 15 min and 48 hrs lets say?).. And when you are lucky and can take a vacation, just don't produce anything and you will not fell you "lost" anything..;)

You can't make people return more than they can. While the 4h (8h spoil) is ok, I am saying that there is too much gap between 8h and 1 day. If I go to bed at 11pm and can only get to play at 6pm next day, the 8h will spoil, the 1 day will not be ready!

Still, if you know you won't be back in time before your goods spoil, you better set it to a longer period. I'm afraid it's as easy as that :).

Supplies spoil - I didn't know that :)

OK, so spoil isn't a good word to use in the context of some goods like horseshoes. Foodstuffs obviously would spoil due to ageing. Think real world. There is a factory, management clears off on hols for a while and the workers are left unattended and don't know when management is back. The lazy thieving little underpaid average worker will start helping himself to stock left laying around. The answer to "it isn't really spoiling but I don't know what to call it" is PILFERAGE. Yes that is a real word. It means "A recurrent theft of small items of little value"

<edit 5 mins later> I haven't actually seen the message but it should possibly be changed to include "spoilage and pilferage" or "spoiled and pilfered" or "spoiling and pilfering" depending on how that message actually reads.

<Edit somewhat later> OK I stuck a suggestion in the typos and grammar thread

could always reduce the amount of supplies available by say 10% an hour for 3 hours, so if you havn't collected them in 3 hours you lose 30% of the supplies and on the 4th hour then let them spoil.
Seems like a fair sollution.

You could always freeze production of course - I'll let you guys figure out how, those in Arvahall can take a look at Chompman's city and you'll see what I mean =D
