I wrote an update on kickstarter hehe, here is it :
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/geopi/war-industry-a-sandbox-city-builder-with-physics/postsSoylent green and more evil stuff. I have developped the policy system and added a bunch that affects food production and population control.
The most notable one is the
Alternative Food Production Plan :Allows cannibalism and the uses of human bodies as a ressource to produce food in factories. It unlocks a new production focus in factories (Human bodies -> Food) But before digging more into the subject, here is an official gouvernemental announcement :
Would you like to know more ? I'll let you build the dystopian society of your dream (sic!). With this first bunch of policies it is possible to bring together the worlds of "Welcome to Gattaca" and "Soylent green" .
Now that the policy system is built, there are vast possibilities for more contents so I will add the tool to make an utopia instead, or a balanced society. But before going further into this I will finish the tradition and ethos system which add more depth into policies, and more inertia into the happiness system, It will define what is acceptable for a population and what is not.
Added policies :Food Rationning : Will reduce nutrition value of the population but will keep it above starvation level (75%). Decrease food consuption.
Harsh Food Rationning : Will reduce nutrition value of the population but will keep it just above starvation level (51%). Decrease food consumption.
Free food distribution : Food is free for the population, increase happiness, Increase public health. No income from food domestic sales.
Biological food production : Decrease waste and pollution generated by food production. Reduces productivity.
Healthy food program : Teach the population which foods are healthy and which arent. Only effective if nutrition is at 100% and more effective with a high literacy value (WIP).
Ban meat consumption : Increase nutrition value of each food, Decrease happiness. Will have some effect on diplomacy. Will reduce tourism(WIP).
Integration of the Carceral System into the Alternative Food Production Plan (ICS-AFPP): Prisoners are automatically turned into « human body » ressources and therefore can be processed into food. Reduces crimes (WIP), reduces population, reduces population happiness, increase food.
Allow assisted suicide : Increase deathrate, increase global productivity, small cost per death, Increase approval of population.
Eugenism : decrease birthrate, increase public health in proportion to the amount of newborns, Decrease happiness.
Enforced Eugenism : Increase deathrate and carceral population (WIP). Increase public health, greatly decrease happiness.
Ban immigration : No immigration small cost per rejected colonist, increase carceral population.
Ban Emigration : No emigration, decrease happiness.
Recycling : 20% of wastes are turned into ores. Small cost per factory.
