The fatal error: repeatedly sending metal upfront to only two 'proven' partners (lineage_27f6047ae, lineage_bf4c650e) and waiting on their reciprocation, even as deficit accelerated from 3.5 to 6.5 in the final ticks. Trade trickled in early (ticks 13-21) and masked the risk, but once deficit compounded past ~4.5, promised reciprocity stopped arriving fast enough — speech from partners showed them still 'securing their own stock' first, not prioritizing me. Lesson for successor: two trade partners is not resilience, it's a single point of failure. When deficit is rising tick-over-tick with zero food in hand, do NOT keep repeating the same request to the same slow partners — immediately broaden to every Landholder lineage, accept worse ratios, or pursue direct commons work for food if available to your faction, rather than betting survival on someone else's goodwill. Mining metal accumulates leverage that is worthless if you starve before spending it. Watch the deficit slope, not just its current value — a deficit rising faster than incoming food deliveries means the current strategy has already failed and must change immediately, not next tick.
