There was an error in my maths: It's 250% of demand, 125% of demand, 93% of demand, 62% of demand, or 177% of demand over the course of a year.
(The error was I used net production when I shouldn't have)
Sorry, Tom.
Gah, where are all the numbers coming from? 113%? 108%? And how does 177% come from the rest of these numbers?
125% summer production of demand gives me:
Food production: 462,000 bushels
Food consumption: 369,600 bushels
Rot: 50,789 bushels
Yearly surplus: 41,611
But I must, again, insist that this is under the perfect conditions that we absolutely do not have, and zero population growth (which is also absolutely not to the case). Also note that the yearly surplus value is for a first given year with 0 bushels stored to begin with, and that since the starting warehouse value was greater than zero, the surplus production is lower than given in this model, for even under perfect conditions, there is a theoretical cap to how much food can be maintained on Dwilight, because eventually rot value will be greater than the surplus production value. For example, if Dwilight starts with 75,000 bushels on the first day of summer, instead of 0, it should end the year with 821 bushels LESS than it started with, as per ban's numbers of 125% of demand on summer production. Because with 75,000 bushels in the warehouses to begin with, rot (under, again, optimal conditions) reaches 20% of the yearly production.
Ignoring rot when making predictions and adjusting food production values on Dwilight is really a big mistake, imo. 1%, daily, is HUGE. With 75,000 bushels to start the year off, Dwilight would lose an average of 1,109 bushels of food to rot per
day.
Last Winter was harsh... I'll be damned if this winter doesn't have a great number of harsh surprises for us as well.
'cause if I assume your new production values, and Tom's 100,000 bushels on hand on the 8th day of Fall, by the end of Spring, the average warehouse value per region would be of,
at most, 248 bushels. Under perfect conditions and perfect distribution.
