No, that's the govenor minimal surplus setting you're reflecting. The
city *can* produce food surplus. I've set this extreme setting for the
govenor to show that it is not possible to rapture - see the check box
crossed.

Ah ok, that are the people that don't work land. If these are
automatically content, then I start with 2 unhappy, and I still don't
understand why all my buildings, wonders and luxury do not make them
dance on the table..

Yes, this is due to the number of cities I have. When I set my workers
manually, I can get food = 20 (+6), prod = 12 (+10), trade 21 (+7),
luxury 6, and still no rapture.
