Question of the Week
This is the last question of the week, as well as the of the month.
(4) How do the denizens of your ecosystem use/ration/adapt to the resources available to them? Who wants want? How do they get more when needed (creation, re-purposing, negotiation with other systems, invasion, etc)? Does everyone get what they want at a minimum cost?
This entire question can be boiled down to a single yes or no, plus why: Is your ecosystem balanced? Why or why not?
Imbalance creates conflict and conflict can lead to interesting situations for your protagonists or even the start of a story.
