And maybe make VOLUME=DEMAND for food and water. Or food VOLUME=average demand for all food types. You should be able to sell a lot of food at once to a city that is starving, and lower volume with lower demand would make it hard to push demand down too far.]]> Fri, 07 Apr 2017 13:35:43 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2438-food-and-population-growth.aspx Message from Doctor Dread Hutton wrote:
Is that true on other solar systems as well? It makes sense that earth would be the bread basket of Sol, but I can see your point.



There are farms and Pastures on other worlds, threes a chance on any planet. Desert and ocean have some, but Terran worlds have a lot]]> Wed, 05 Apr 2017 19:24:28 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2438-food-and-population-growth.aspx Message from Hutton Wed, 05 Apr 2017 13:24:30 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2438-food-and-population-growth.aspx Message from Zip555 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 00:19:54 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2438-food-and-population-growth.aspx Message from Doctor Dread Tue, 04 Apr 2017 16:27:12 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2438-food-and-population-growth.aspx Message from Hutton
And, if you really feel like making food Work differently from other resources, give it a different scaling system. It would be more immersive if multiple farms/ranches producing a diversity of food should somehow be more effective than making 1 level 10 farm/ranch and changing production every few turns. Maybe put in a delay or something so it has to be running for a while before it starts to produce.]]> Tue, 04 Apr 2017 12:29:56 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2438-food-and-population-growth.aspx Message from Hutton Tue, 04 Apr 2017 12:17:12 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2438-food-and-population-growth.aspx Message from Doctor Dread Hutton wrote:
I suggest that demand for crops and meat should be weighted more heavily than other products towards population growth. With the possible exception of cotton, which I believe is the only commodity in those categories that can be used to manufacture other products.


Ya know, this is a good idea. I can make the population effect on th edifferent population types for food be "over 100%" and I can also make water be more population inducing also.]]> Tue, 04 Apr 2017 11:46:02 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2438-food-and-population-growth.aspx Message from Hutton Tue, 04 Apr 2017 11:32:18 GMT
