Population

Formulas

Your population growth is based on your housing and your disease rate. Housing directly affects how many population you can have (100 per housing, with a 100 base), and how much your population can grow at max growth rate (10 per housing). Disease affects what percentage (%) of your max growth rate you are achieving.

For example, if you have 10 housing, then you will have a max population of 1,100. Note the extra 100 from the base. Your population would grow at 100 per day, if you had 0 disease.

Now suppose we have a disease rate of 10%. This means we are only growing at 90% of our max growth rate. So, if we take the example above with a 10% disease rate, our population would actually only grow by 90 per day.
