Import Population Data

• Exponential Growth CSV Files
  Each line in this file format represents a single population. Data for each population includes a name, location, chance that an encounter results in a kill (this value is dictated by the level of technology of the village from bows to modern hunting rifles), a starting population, and the r value for how fast the population is growing.

  Line format: name, longitude, latitude, killRate, StartingPopulation, growthRate

  Example File Contents:

  Village1,	32.483,	24.657	.9,	55,	.1,
  Village2,	28.726,	27.014	.2,	104,	.17,
  Village3,	29.472,	29.473	-1,	86,	.13,

  Note: The last village in the example file, Village3, is an example where the killRate is ommited. Leaving the kill rate column blank or filling it with the value of -1 indicates that a population should use the global kill rate from the parameters page.
• Yearly Defined Growth CSV Files
  The more powerful alternative is a format in which the population of every village is given as a discrete number for every year. This allows for modeling of populations that don't a formulaic trend. The basic format is the same as the exponential growth layout except that instead of ending in with a starting population and an r value, each line ends with the population each year for any number of years.

  Line format: name, longitude, latitude, killRate, PopulationYear1, PopulationYear2, PopulationYear3,

  Example File Contents:

  Village1,	32.483,	24.657	.2,	55,	58,	62,	65,	35,	36,
  New Village,	32.126,	25.014	.2,	0,	0,	0,	0,	30,	32,

  Shown above is an example of using the flexibility of this format to simulate the splitting of a population into two smaller populations during the 5th year.
• Simulation Save Files
  Importing from a save file will take the populations from the file without loading any other parameters. This can be used to pull the populations out of multiple saved simulations to combine them into a single new simulation.

  Note: Loading both the parameters and the populations from a save file is done from the Get Started page.
