Refugee Camps - Am I missing something?

I was wondering what the purpose of the refuge camp is since it takes up 4 slots and grants only 40 Population. Seeing as 1 Hut gives 32 Pop but takes 1 slot only and 4 food I was wondering if there is a tech further along the way that improves them or is it just useful for the early stages of the game?

I just started Beta 2 so I'm still learning the flow of the games, thanks for the info/tips in advance!

I think the concept is to offer a source of housing that doesn't require food production - enabling a larger city without the normally required food infrastructure. However, like most things checked-in so far, it's not balanced, just a proof of concept.

Thanks I fixed the number of food required I see if you put it that way Sareln it makes sense, I also forgot to mention that the tooltip mentioned a "Population Bonus" and I was wondering if it gave a certain % or if it meant the 40 Population. Thanks for the input
