🌊 Ecosystem Builder

Welcome to the Ecosystem Building module. Your goal is to create a sustainable food chain of exactly 8 species.

🎯 The Objective

You must select species that form a continuous chain where:

1. Every species has enough food (Calories Provided > Calories Needed).
2. The chain is exactly 8 species long.
3. The ecosystem is balanced across dimensions like Depth and Temperature.

🛠️ The Solver Tool

Use the spreadsheet below to enter your species data.

• Tip: Use Tab to navigate and Ctrl+D to duplicate values from the row above.
• Tip: Click “Config Dimensions” to add custom fields like “Soil pH”.

📊 Strategy Guide

• Start with Producers: Always ensure you have a solid base of producers (high calories provided, 0 needed).
• Watch the Gaps: Use the visualizer (coming soon) to see if you are missing species in specific depth ranges.
• Tie-Breaking: If two food sources provide equal calories, the eater splits its consumption 50/50. The solver handles this automatically.
