@Tiago_alves Each new hearthling your village has increases the inventory cap of your town by 150. Get more hearthlings and the cap will go up! If necesary, sell things for money for more town worh and cook more food using the space freed.

I hope this helps. Have fun, Kyth.

There is a simple solution, don’t harvest/make so much crap. You can quite easily have a town with 14 hearthlings and only have one 20x20 storage.

The reason why the limit is there is to help performance, having tens of thousands of items in your town slows stuff down even more. I would expect to see the limit partially lifted when the performance pass is done.

Off-topic, but how on Stonehearth did you actually die via hunger?

I’m genuinely curious as to how a Town can die due to lack of food when carrot farms can have multiple quick harvests and you can stack vegetable stews indefinitely due to them never rotting.

Was is the new weather mechanic perhaps?

It was probably that they maxed there inventory out with non food items and then they all died cause there was no food in storage

@tiago_alves Try to get a 15th hearthling. Unless they have changed the system, each hearthling gives you 150 inventory space. 14 hearthlings equal 2100! The 15th one would start increasing it!  
The inicial limit of 2100 may be there to give you some space to start. But if you want to go over it you will need at least 15 heartlings. Either that or it is a bug.

Have fun, Kyth.

But wouldn’t getting to that level require not having any food items to begin with? Think about it.

Hitting the inventory limit requires time, and time requires food, therefore he must have somehow _run out of_ food before he filled up his inventory with non-food items.

Or perhaps he accidentally sold all food off and then went on a crafting binge.

Currently that’s the only explanation I can think of for why _anyone_ would lose Hearthlings to hunger. Farming is presently too easy and productive to ever starve, even with only two Farmers in a Town of 14.

ah that seems to answer the question! I guess its a case of hoarding issues then… ☀

You can only change difficulty when you start a new game, you cannot change difficulty in mid-game. Instead of “hard” or “normal” you can select “peaceful”.

I believe some traders will have it, also some quests might award it. Not too sure on that question, though.

If you’re really desperate you can try spawning it via console.
