	food consumption Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

how do you set the amount of food eaten by each citizen? i don't understand how these lines work:

UNIT_RATIONS 3.0 # what does 1 notch mean
BASE_RATIONS 12.0 # food per person time POP_HUNGER when slider is zero

and i don't know what this line is for either,and how they all relate.

CITY_GROWTH_COEFFICIENT 200 # Amount of food per citizen required to grow a city

i've been playing with the values, but i can't seem to figure hout how they work.

BASE_RATIONS says how much food each citizen eats when the food slider is in the centre position. UNIT_RATIONS says how much more or less each citizen eats when you put the slider one notch to the left or right.

CITY_GROWTH_COEFFICIENT says how much excess food needs to be stored before your city increases in size. This should be multiplied by the city size, so a size 3 city would need 600 excess food stored to grow.

Cyrius, I think you made a mistake there. If BASE_RATIONS is 12 then people will eat 12 food when the slider is in center position. If you move the slider one notch to the left people will eat 12-3=9 food.
