that is dependant on food price... u are correct if food is 17 or under and u have max loyalty....
some people just cnt be bothered with monitoring and buying food everynow and again...
i usualy hack housing back to 1 land so its there if i need to re pop for what ever reason |

99+ day(s) ago | as a com empire the population you keep should still make more cash from food than it consumes, so there is no need to kill the pop by not buying food. |

99+ day(s) ago | basic facts....
viral have 3 income options
tax
argi
comm
all 3 have there own advantages and disadvantages ...
research wise for comm do 7 housing rest comm
tax all housing
argi 7 housing rest argi
tax and comm will require u to buy food off the market while argi requres you to sell to the market. you can reduce food costs as a comm empire buy destroyer the population after u have maxed the commercial buildings on the land. |

99+ day(s) ago | Well I will share what I learned recently. If you have goods and 5000 loyalty you will make money until food reaches 18 as a pop/tax viral. When food is above 18 your population eats more money in food than it produces in income for you. So watch the food prices for the speed you are on if they are in the 12+ range all the time it might not be so profitable as other options. Remember too that going the pop/tax route makes you have a high base PR. |

99+ day(s) ago | tax from population is best for viral i believe, but your going to have to feed them so yes you will have to rely on the market for food, also boost you loyaly on your planets and make sure you have goods for your peeps too. basically research housing and cram your zurglings into chep slums :) |
