The Citizen Triad: The Three Pillars of Colony Survival

In All Will Fall, physical stability is only half the battle. A structurally flawless mega-rig will rapidly collapse if your workforce falls into an economic labor deficit.

1. The Faction Roles

  • Sailors (40% Ratio): Harvest shallow kelp beds, pilot skiffs to floating supply caches, and manage deep-sea nets. Maintains calorie reserves to prevent health decay.
  • Workers (35% Ratio): Gather ocean driftwood, recycle scrap metal, and stoke the coal forges in industrial smelters.
  • Engineers (25% Ratio): Inspect foundation sockets, repair wave wear, and reinforce strained columns before storms arrive.

2. Breaking the Death Spiral

When foundation stress rises during a storm, avoid the instinct to reassign all Sailors to maintenance. Instead, use the Citizen Triad Calculator to calculate exact repair thresholds while keeping daily food surplus above zero.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Golden Ratio for Citizen allocation?
40% Sailors (food & foraging), 35% Workers (salvage & smelting), and 25% Engineers (pylon maintenance and foundation repairs).
What causes the starvation-maintenance death spiral?
Pulling Sailors to fix damaged pylons drops food production; malnourished citizens then suffer a 50% work speed penalty, causing both repairs and food gathering to fail simultaneously.
