Disclaimer : i know little about Java code and haven't looked at /found
the production code mentioned.
I do suggest to compare the pseudocode below to the current food
production code.
* food increase when horses only eat grain
food_grain = caclulategrainproduction(colony)
food_fish = calculatefishproduction(colony)
Food_needed = 2 * col_size
food_available = food_fish + food_grain - food_needed
if food_fish > food_needed
then
food_horses = food_grain div 2
else
if food_available > 0
then
food_horses = food_available div 2
else
food_horses = 0
endif
endif
food_increase = food_available - food_horses
addhorses(food_horses)
new_food_amount = current_amount + food_increase
if new_food_amond < 0
then
removecolonist(colony)
else
if new_food_amount > 200
then
addnewcolonist(colony)
endif
endif
* food increase when horses do eat fish :
food_grain = caclulategrainproduction(colony)
food_fish = calculatefishproduction(colony)
Food_needed = 2 * col_size
food_available = food_fish + food_grain - food_needed
if food_available > 0
then
food_horses = food_available div 2

food_horses = 0

food_increase = food_available - food_horses
addhorses(food_horses)
new_food_amount = current_amount + food_increase
if new_food_amond < 0
then
removecolonist(colony)
else
if new_food_amount > 200
then
addnewcolonist(colony)
endif
endif
