As he gets drunk, he also writes about his surroundings and his laments. He is trying, but failing, to forget what lies at his feet-a failed marriage, being a deadbeat father, and his lack of commercial success as a singer in a band. He seeks comfort mostly in alcohol to numb himself. The character of Torch (supposedly a descendant of the Jester from earlier album sleeves) is a 29-year-old out-of-work man whose life is a mess. In 1999, a 2-CD 'Remastered Version' with additional B-sides and demos was released, including detailed liner notes from all of the original members including Fish. ![]() The album has received critical acclaim, being listed in Q magazine's "50 Best Recordings of the Year", it has been described by AllMusic as an "unheralded masterpiece", and Rolling Stone placed it at number 37 in its countdown of the "50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time". It produced three UK Top 40 singles: " Incommunicado", " Sugar Mice" and " Warm Wet Circles". Īlthough Clutching at Straws did not achieve the sales of its predecessor, the number one album Misplaced Childhood, spending 15 weeks on the UK album chart (the shortest chart residency of any of Marillion's first four studio albums), it was still an immediate commercial success, becoming the second highest charting Marillion album by entering the chart at number two. It was the last album with lead singer Fish, who left the band in 1988, and is a concept album. I have plenty left in summer with 60 animals that need winter care (7 stables) and a population of 90 humans.Clutching at Straws is the fourth studio album by the British neo-prog band Marillion, released on June 22, 1987. I have 6.5 5x5 fields (2.5x barley, 2x rye/einkorn) which yielded 160 straw. If you're not able to get all the harvest your workload is too high or your setup is inefficient.

I know I'm going to have to go back to an earlier save or maybe start over, but I've played for ~15 hours and all four of my villages have failed because of straw problems.Īm I doing something wrong here? The whole straw thing seems like kind of an issue, I don't understand why you can't feed livestock grain, at least. ![]() Is there a formula for straw consumption, like a clear way of knowing what animals eat how much? I've been keeping 20 cows and numerous sheep, but even cutting my sheep population from 60 down to 30 doesn't stop my straw supplies from diminishing faster than I can rebuild them - my last harvest I had 150 straw afterwards, 60 animals, and was down to 50 straw by next winter.
