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.Īs 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 iconĪny 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.
