You might expect predators to handle them, but a locust’s corpse gives less food than the least nutritious plant.
Update: I changed the efficiency of predation from 0.80 to 0.95. Eating a locust now gives slightly more food than the least nutritious plant.
Another update: I have reduced the price of temperature adaptations from 5 to 2. Previously, it was barely possible to survive in the tundra even under ideal conditions.
