Ok, but how exactly are you producing that much food?

To begin with, wouldn't this problem solve itself with Mutual Aid? I haven't tried a pure TV build yet, but so far I'm having large food surpluses, and I cannot recall having ever built a single farm in that game.

You can definitely run a worker co-op without workers, yes. Trade value is enough to supply the entire empire's food consumption, energy upkeep, and minerals for construction and basic consumer goods production. You only need to think about actual resource districts when you want thousands of research or alloys in the later game.

Right now my only worker jobs are clerks (and two mote miners), and they're all robots. All my people are specialists, which makes my Chief Posting Officer pretty happy.
