I seem to remember reading in a couple of places that houses will store a reserve of food and goods (like several months worth of food and a couple of months worth of goods) but can't find now the exact numbers so anyone can help with that?
The reason I'm asking is the following hypothetical exercise: let's assume we don't mind having the 1x1 until we reach the natural 2x2 (large insulae iirc) which also means that a fully stocked 1,2,3 or 4 1x1's will become a 2x2.
Depending on the reserve and the number of 1x1's and the how the game behaves (whether excess goods are kept in the new 2x2 until consumed or anything above the reserve limit is lost) there should be an optimal cutoff point for a an evolution; that is, only keep 2 1x1's until you are ready for a 2x2 but not 3 or 4.
Obviously, if the game allows any amount of reserve we're good but if not we'd need this info to avoid wasting goods.
On a side note you might argue that simply having 1x1's is a waste but indulge me for the sake of this exercise, it might be worth it to produce a little more for the 1x1 and gain a smother evolution since the new 2x2's will already be supplied with goods so only the food will be left to supply for the newly arrived immigrants.
