General data

Drawn by George, inspired with brewery by some unknown Czech artist (let me know if you know him)

The Food plant is the part of the ECS Agricultural Vector.

Cargoes

Accepting

The Food plant accepts Cereals, Fruit and Oil seeds.

The Food plant does not accept any cargo during first 93 days of life if built in game.

Cargo acceptance is limited by storage capacity. If the stockpile is in overflow, the overflowing cargo is accepted and immediately removed from the store into nowhere.

Level	Cereals	Fruit	Oil seeds
Very low	467	293	325
Low	933	587	650
Normal	1867	1173	1300
High	3267	2053	2275
Very high	6067	3813	4225
Ultimate	11667	7333	8125

Production

The Food plant produces Food and Fertilizer.

The Food plant does not produce any cargo during first 93 days of life if built in game.

The Food plant uses 6 production levels.

On the lowest production level the missing cargo would be taken from internal resources to produce about 16 units of Food. The Food plant production is shown in the table (production data is calculated for 8 cycles a month. During game play, there are 8 or 9 cycles, while the total amount of distributed cargo is adjusted with property for minimal amount of cargo distributed).

The industry processes the cargo that is stored the most. Changing between processed cargo happens instantly.

Level	Cycles	Food	Fertilizer (cereals)	Fertilizer (fruit)	Fertilizer (oil seeds)	Cereals	Fruit	Oil seeds
Very low	1	100	27	20	16	167	133	125
Low	2	200	53	40	33	333	267	250
Normal	4	400	107	80	65	667	533	500
High	7	700	187	140	114	1167	933	875
Very high	13	1300	347	260	211	2167	1733	1625
Ultimate	25	2500	667	500	406	4167	3333	3125

Production change

Production change happens on the 1-st day of every month.

The Food plant does not change production level during first 93 days of life if built in game.

On the lowest production level (Very low) advanced closure mechanism is applied with the following protection conditions:

• last one on the map
• younger than 5 years for industries, built in SE (scenario editor) or during map generation, younger than 2 years for others
• transportation level > 75%

Protection can be changed with a parameter of ECS Agricultural Vector to the following protection conditions:

• last one on the map
• younger than 5 years for industries, built in SE (scenario editor) or during map generation, younger than 2 years for others
• transportation level > 1%
• Food plant was built by the player during game play

Changing production level is calculated by comparing the sum (Cereals * 3/5, Fruit * 3/4, Oil seeds * 4/5) with the value, represented in the table.

The industry can increase production level by one or two, and decrease it to any level.

Level	Decrease	Increase
Very low	50	250
Low	100	500
Normal	200	1000
High	350	1750
Very high	650	3250
Ultimate	1250

On normal production level and higher at list 50% of Food should be transported to allow production level growth

Construction

The Food plant has one of 8 possible layouts. New layouts are welcome :)

The Food plant has normal probability (4) to be built by map generator and very low probability (1) to be built during game play.

The Food plant can be built by a player both in a game and in the scenario editor. Construction cost factor is 184. Construction conditions are represented in the table.

When built by the player during a game, the Food plant will be in company colours of the builder. When generated by the game or built while in the scenario editor, the Food plant will pick up the colour randomly.

SE	Condition
+	Build on dry land
+	Build on flat land

+	Build < 25 tiles away from shore tile
+	Build > 3 tiles away from desert tile
–	Build at least 1 tile away from Tz0

–	Build > 31 tiles from a Fruit plantation
–	Build > 15 tiles from a Food plant
