Yep, normally I'd try to avoid losing .75 of a hammer, but that's running max food while we aren't in Caste System. We can get more hammers if needed, but more than 160 hammers into the first galley will just disappear anyway.

Actually, I think you are calculating:

hammers = ROUNDDOWN(base production * 1.25) + ROUNDDOWN(overflow * 1.25)

when I thing it should be:

hammers = ROUNDDOWN[(base production + overflow) * 1.25]

I might be interepreting your calculations wrong, but if the above is true we might be getting a couple of hammers more than in your notation. It's only positive and not a big deal anyways. tongue
