Starvation imminent in Mars Base Zero

Starvation. It is right around the corner. If I was on Mars with no
re-supply I'd be in big trouble. Several days ago I picked my last
cabbage, though there is still half of it left. Last night I picked
my last beet, and although I'm hoping I can root around and find
another onion or two, I may not. Carrots: almost gone. Spinach: just
a few leaves left. Turnips: not a lot. Wheat: all gone except that
reserved for seed. Potatoes...they are the key, since 94% of my
calories comes from them. I have 6 plants left. I usually harvest 2
plants per day, though on some days I've only eaten one--and on one
day I had to pick 4 plants. So I am entering my last few days because
I think perhaps I'll exit instead of starve *grin*

More about my health problems (solved); furnace breakdown (fixed on
try #3); data tracked (tons), water usage (very low) and weather
problems (snow) plus more in the full update at:
