Liebig's law of the minimum

Growth factors as bars — yield is capped by the shortest bar.

Click any bar to raise that input · yield line = shortest bar

How this works (classic)

  1. Each bar is a growth factor (nutrient, light, etc.).
  2. Yield (pink line) sits at the shortest bar — surplus elsewhere does not raise it.
  3. Click a bar to add more of that input and see if yield moves.
