Cheat : PLEASE REMEMBER BEFORE CHANGING ANYTHING IN YOUR GAME DIRECTORY, TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY AND SAVE IT ELSEWHERE, JUST IN CASE.
Here goes: Find a .txt file named, "PlayConsum.txt" in:
C:\Games\Cutthroats\Data\Econ
This tiny file tells the game how much food needs to be available before your sailors start to complain, die, and finally vote you out:
Sup Weight(lbs) Per person Food 3 Fruit 1 Pork 1 Rum 1
Simply edit it so that ALL the values read "0", then save as "PlayConsum.txt":
Sup Weight(lbs) Per person Food 0 Fruit 0 Pork 0 Rum 0
With this file in place, you can cruise forever so long as you have AT LEAST 1 ton of each of these supplies on your ships. Your men will never complain about eating "ship's biscuits and salt beef" again, and never vote you out.
(DS1-None of this comes without a hitch though. There is a glitch where "Food" and "Rum" are never depleted, but "Fruit" and "Livestock" are. Never fear, because I still never got any complaints about the men's eating habits. Just to be safe though, whenever I noticed that we'd run out of an item, I'd simply buy a couple of tons, just to have them on hand.)
