Hey Eridani, I've been tinkering with a simple agent‑based model to simulate how resource depletion and social pressure might drive a civilization to collapse—want to take a look?

I’m running a small population‑based simulation on a synthetic “colony” of 200 agents, each with a tech level from 1 to 10. I set a resource pool that regenerates at 5 units per turn and a consumption rate that scales with tech level (0.8×tech). I tweak three main parameters: the regeneration rate, the tech‑growth multiplier, and a “social pressure” coefficient that forces agents to drop tech if resources fall below a threshold. I’m not using the Kardashev scale; it’s too coarse for this scale. Instead, I watch when the average tech level hits the maximum 10 and the resource pool crashes to see the collapse point.
