BASE_RATIONS says how much food each citizen eats when the food slider is in the centre position. UNIT_RATIONS says how much more or less each citizen eats when you put the slider one notch to the left or right.
CITY_GROWTH_COEFFICIENT says how much excess food needs to be stored before your city increases in size. This should be multiplied by the city size, so a size 3 city would need 600 excess food stored to grow.

Ok, if this is true, moving the slider left one notch would give -9 food per person. This means people generate food!!! That can't be right.
Cyrius, I think you made a mistake there. If BASE_RATIONS is 12 then people will eat 12 food when the slider is in center position. If you move the slider one notch to the left people will eat 12-3=9 food.
