Caravan Food Bug in 1.2.0.1

First, this game is wonderful!

Second, I was going to post this on the Conifer Games forum, but they don't appear to be functioning currently.

Buying food from the caravan in version 1.2.01 appears to be broken in my current game. Based on the example below, it appears to be treating TURNS of food as UNITS of food when purchased.

Example:

Tribe Gold: 421.75
Tribe Food: 232.45
Food Turns Left: 7
Food Consumed Per Turn: -29.5
Caravan Barley: 30 @ 4 gold each

When I spend 120 gold to purchase the 30 barley from the caravan, the barley disappears, and I am left with this:

Tribe Gold: 301.75
Tribe Food: 233.46
Food Turns Left: 7

So, it appears that instead of adding 30 food to the stockpile (enough to feed the tribe for one turn), it adds just 1 food to the stockpile. I've seen this happen with wheat and grapes as well and can only assume that it happens with all food purchased from the caravan.

Is this happening with anyone else?

i think that since your food / turn is 29.5, it is crediting you with 1 turn of food and paying you the balance (.5 rounded to 1)

That makes sense, but it's still broken. So the problem in that case is that it didn't actually credit me a turn of food. That 29.5 units of food just disappears.

I confirmed this by testing both options. I turned off all food production and just ended the turn until the tribe reached the point of starving. Without buying the 30 barley, my tribe gets to the point of starving in early July with 17 food remaining in the stockpile. If I DO buy the 30 barley, my tribe still reaches the point of starving in early July, only with 18 food instead of 17.

I've had the same issue. It calculates how many turns the food you just bought is worth, but then credits you that turn number in food alone. So if I'm consuming 30 food per turn, purchase 30 food, that's enough for 1 turn buuuut it only credits me with 1 food (and thus is only worth 1/30th of a turn of food).

Yes. It is happening with every food you buy. For honey and grape and wheat too.

Okay, this will be fixed fixed in v1.2.1, which will be posted this Friday (July 19th).

Can anyone else upgrade the caravan? I cannot see the upgrade on my screen resolution, and I dare not open options (it crashes each time I do so) in order to change the resolution. Help! Its hard to advance without upgrading the caravan.
