Organics and Empire Population |
Here is something that I really missed in SE IV. I don't know if it has been implemented in SE V, but it would be logical...
In SE IV I barely used the Ogranic resource, and I wondered why it wasn't used to feed the population on planets. I had billions and billions of people on my planets, but I was able to produce much more Organics than I could possibily use... And I actually built just a handful of Organic Farms...
I believe that it would be a great improvement of the game if the Organic Resource could be used to support the Empire population.
A simple implementation could be that the total population of the empire consumes Organics as the ships consumes Minerals and Radioactives for maintenance...
In systems without a spaceport the population should be mantained with Organic Farms on the planets.
What do you think?
It does already...
This already exists and is implemented more or less the same way as you described. The population by default in settings.txt consumes 0.1 organics per 1M. In the Balance Mod I increased this to 1 organic per 1M.
You can also have the population consume Rads or Minerals if you wanted as well.
