Yep, that's the main reason I didn't bring in the orangeshirts, was trying to figure this out.

I mucked around in the AlienBuildings.xls trying to make them behavior better. Part of it seems to be that the AI is getting into an Unemployment Crisis where all their meal building efficiencies drop to due to unemployment.

Thanks!

* The AI races have been rebalanced quite a bit so that they no longer get into that food-water-meals/staffing death spiral that the players were previously getting into.
** As with the players, the solution has been pretty much providing some automation to some of the buildings so that there is no longer a chicken and egg problem and some of the production buildings provide food and water and meals without needing staff, while others don't.

Now all we need is for the AI to suffer from mall shootings and everything will be fair. ;)
