Round 38 Changes

  • Bushels of food are now called halms of food. This has no impact on the game, but the measurement bushel was nonsensical. Each person eats 0.25 bushels per tick, which comes to 24 bushels per day. That’s approximately 872 litres. Halms are a fictional unit and it just so happens to be that 24 halms is just about the amount of food an average-sized being eats per day.
