More Flour than Bread?

Hi, sorry if this has been discussed before. I am new to towns and one problem I had was flour everywhere.

I couldn't really find anything online about it, and I ended up figuring it out (i think


Cause:
Mills continue to produce flour even after you have
met your quota on bread. (As long as there is wheat
available.) So if no one is eating your bread, then
you continue to produce flour, causing a massive
overstock of flour.

Solution:

Lower Wheat Harvesting to 1, and raise bread production
slowly until you have a decent balance of flour to bread.

If you are feeding a massive population on bread, you may
need to raise wheat harvesting to 2 or more. Adjust
your bread production accordingly.


Does this sound right? Again, I am pretty new to this game.

I never have that problem... Just build more rooms and soon all your bread will be eaten up and you will have to use up all that flour... Of course that brings the problem of famine.

I have so much flour that all the rooms are full of it. I had to build a bridge, and now they're storing on the other side of the river, and yet all the containers are empty.

if you increase the hauling and decrease gathering they will put the flower in the containers eventually

Or you just turn off the mills for a moment. I have 6 mills but I never have to much flower because I turn them off in time.
