The way it is described in the forum topic, it makes no sense. On the one hand, ixprefect says that water is an endless ressource that can be "wasted" by creating hundreds of oxen. On the other hand, he says that water should stored "because later in the game your consumption might go faster than production".

In case of the thatch reed, it is not that tragic: It is only used as a building material and not as a permanently used ware (as wheat and water to create bread).

Nevertheless, I think both should be fixed. If the player has a high default target quantity (e.g. 10 or 20), he always has a stock that can be used (equal whether oxen, thatch reed or cloth). If he uses one of those wares, it will be immediatly replaced because the producing building is full of the ressource it needs. I cannot imaginge a scenario where 20 of a ware are not enough.

If others agree, we should still check whether other buildings (not only Barbarian ones) also waste wares because the are endless (but are needed by other buildings).
