Yes. I'm debating how much to bother. I'm level 17; I plan on getting to 20, and adding the 3 more allies to get to 25, and then seeing if I can arrange a holding pattern. (I don't think that's possible; if you have negatives in energy/food, you eventually bleed off enough bliss to start losing money; if you're positive, your pop grows and you eventually fall into negatives.)

So to recap: level 15, population 116K, bliss 236K, food 144K, energy 1739K (-8K), military 256K, bucks per cycle 1939K.
Level 17: Pop 243K (been pushing it), bliss 251K, food 245k, energy 3895k (-6%), military 8k, $/C 4645k.

No idea how much the differences are different styles of play vs. assets having higher surge values at higher levels. At L17, Thorium Reactors surge for 20,500 energy each.

Still never been in the red on food, how is that even possible?
I've deliberately allowed run my food down at times, because the low-food bliss cost is easier to manage.

Guess what? 300k+ energy deficit takes a long time to fix. I've got another two cycles of *only* energy surges.
