Genehunter Population is added again, to make them consume twice as much food, and Riftborn are removed, making them not count towards consumption. It's important to note that Population Count counts ALL population, including guardians, Riftborn, and Genehunter population. Shipbound Consumption = (((Total Shipbound Population) ^ 1.25) / (1200 * Game Speed Multiplier) * 2) Genehunter Consumption = (((Population Count) ^ 1.28) / (300 * Game Speed Multiplier) * 1.1) - (Food Consumption * IsntGeneHunter)ДЇood Upkeep = Food Consumption + Genehunter Consumption + Manpower Conversion Consumption + Outpost Consumption Population Count = (Population - Population Not Using Growth + Genehunter Population + Super Population) * 300 * Game Speed MultiplierДЇood Consumption = (((Population Count) ^ 1.28) / (300 * Game Speed Multiplier) * 1.1)) It should be noted that the Shipbound Consumption does not include ark consumption. 'Super Population' refers to generic Umbral Shadows, as does Shipbound refer to any Vodyani-like population. The population that will die is the population with the highest growth score, making Riftborn population always starve out last. Once it reaches -300 food, a unit of the indicated type of population will die. If you go below 0 food, your population will begin to starve and will start dying out. Your food total will be lowered per population in your system. The Chain Gang program will always choose the population with the highest growth score.

After the population type is selected, its growth score is reset to 0. The population type selected to be grown next will be the one with the highest growth score. If you reach maximum capacity on all of your planets, have only Riftborn population, or are converting your food into another resource, your food will be forced to 0, regardless of how much production you have.Д®ach turn, every population type (race) will receive 50 to their growth score (this is visible by hovering over a race in the system panel). Having a food production greater than 300 is wasteful, as none of it is saved. Reaching 300 stockpiled results in the spawning of a new Population unit and the resetting of the stockpile.

For Genehunters population, each population unit consumes twice as much food than a normal unit of population.ДЇood is only stockpiled locally for growth and is separate for every System.

Vanilla Vodyani lower system food production by 1% per population, this can go into negatives.

For Shipbound populations, food storage needed to grow a new pop is 1200.

However, Riftborn population WILL decrease if your population are starving.

For Riftborn (Visual Affinity) population never eats food and is ignored for the calculation, but may still produce food.

At first the stockpile is used up, but if it is depleted a Population unit is removed and the stockpile is refilled to the maximum. If a system net Food production is negative, it begins to starve. The growth is faster with more excess Food.

Another rarer consumption is exports to Outposts.ДЄs long as a System's net food production is positive the system will eventually grow. The two main factors of food consumption are supporting the Population and creating Manpower. Fertile Planets naturally produce the most food (while also having the most Population slots). Food output is greatly increased by System Approval. Planets need food in order to grow and support Population. Similarly, FIDS stands for Food, Industry, Dust, Science (no Influence), and is represented by the iconДЄny tooltip that says something along the lines of '+1 on System' will, as the text implies, give 1 Food, Industry, Dust, Science, and Influence to that system. These are the five main resources in Endless Space 2, and are produced by Planets in owned systems.

FIDSI stands for Food, Industry, Dust, Science, and Influence.
