-====== How Security and Unrest Work ======
-Trust belongs to each Settlement and reflects sustained Food supply. Security belongs to a region and reflects the danger of flying cargo there. Unrest links both: it pauses a Settlement's growth and worsens regional ambush risk.
-===== How does Trust recover and fall? =====
-Trust rises only while a commissioned Settlement has supply, and recovers faster the fuller its stock is.
-^ Stock ^ Recovery ^ Time from 30% unrest to 55% recovered ^
-| 85% | 0.08%/min | about 5 hours |
-| 90% | 0.20%/min | about 2 hours |
-| 95% | 0.40%/min | about 1 hour |
-| 100% | 0.60%/min | about 45 minutes |
-Trust does not fall at or above 75% stock. From full to unrest takes about 44 hours at 70%, 9 hours at 50%, 4 hours 20 minutes at 25%, and 3 hours when empty. Civic Administration multiplies recovery and a UH-1H Food delivery adds a temporary boost.
-===== When does unrest spread? =====
-^ Stage ^ Trigger ^ Effect ^
-| Warning | Trust below 40% | Warning only. |
-| Unrest | Trust below 30% | Growth pauses; regional ambush risk rises. |
-| Spreading | Unrest for about 45 minutes | Other Settlements in the region lose 1% Trust/min. |
-| Region-wide | Two or more spreading Settlements | Neighbouring regions lose 0.5% Trust/min. |
-The clock runs only while someone flies. Spread never pushes a Settlement below unrest and stops as soon as the original source rises above 55% Trust. [[guides:recover-an-unrest-settlement|Recover an Unrest Settlement]] is the action guide.
-===== How does regional Security work? =====
-Clearing enemy groups raises Security; a wholly unanswered ambush lowers it. Checkpoints create a floor that combat losses cannot cross, and Airspace Command adds 10 floor points everywhere. Every point matters and ambushes disappear only at 100%; Checkpoints alone reach 65%.
-Unrest applies a 20-point penalty to ambush rolls in its region without changing the displayed value. Low-Security regions regenerate enemy groups near villages or known sites. [[guides:respond-to-an-ambush|Respond to an Ambush]] covers the player response.
