If you starve when supplies is less than supply usage then something is wrong (display bug or supply bug).

Starving numbers is random, but dependent on needed supplies vs total supplies.

Terrain survival: 50% chance of not affected by starvation (IIRC).
I've definitely seen cases where there was no starvation message even though the used supplies were higher than the available supplies; and I strongly believe I've seen the reverse, that is, starvation message even though the used supplies were (slightly) lower than available.

For some time, I thought this was a side effect of the turn sequence, but starvation is pretty late in the turn sequence; what could possibly affect this?
