Game Mechanics

Population

• Population Growth: Population increases if the food supply is sufficient and decreases if the food supply is insufficient.
• Food Consumption: Each individual consumes a specific amount of food. The cost of food depends on its market value.

Farm Industry

• Production: The farm industry produces food (ananas) based on the number of workers and the efficiency of production.
• Income and Expenses: The industry generates income from selling produced food and incurs expenses in the form of salaries for the workers.
• Investment and Efficiency: Profits are reinvested to increase production efficiency.

Food

• Value Fluctuation: The value of food changes based on the balance between produced and sold quantities.
• Stock Management: The stock of food is updated each cycle based on production and sales.
