Possible Bug - Adding More Workers Seems To Do Nothing? [pre-alpha : week 6]

Hi! I've been having a lot of fun playing your game, but I've found something that might be a bug - some workers seem to not affect resource production/consumption outside of food. You can see in a video I took here - https://vimeo.com/953528868?share=copy - while I am increasing the number of iron miners, food consumption does go up, but all other resources remain the same. This is happening with several other jobs too, including explorers and iron smelters.

You need more Torch Men, more torches!

Notice that you have only 3 Torch Man, but Iron Miner consumes -1 torch each.

You have too little Torch Man's (Iron Miner's don't have torches so they cannot work).

But I understand why it looks weird, it is not clear what resource is missing unless you really think about it. I'm trying to think of a good way to make this more clear.

Thanks for the feedback!

I have an interesting suggestion:

Similarly to how you make the little green text appear when the unit actually produces a resource, make it pop out a little red text saying "Missing <resource name>".

Btw, i killed the funny little creature and was surprised to see there wasn't even a text to say "damn you did it". Not mad or anything like that, just pointing out.

Great game, wish you luck in it's future development.
