====== Trust ======

**Trust** is the long-term Food-supply health of a single Settlement. It rises while a commissioned Settlement is supplied and falls while its Food store runs low or after an aircraft crashes nearby.

===== Food and Trust =====

Trust follows the fill level of the Food store. It falls below half a store and rises above it, and the rate grows towards the top of the store:

^ Food stock ^ Trust per flight hour ^
| 0% | −24 |
| 25% | −12 |
| 50% | ±0 |
| 75% | +6 |
| 90% | +24 |
| 100% | +36 |

Values between two rows lie on the straight line between them. Raising a store from 75% to 90% quadruples the gain. A Settlement at 40% loses about 5 Trust per flight hour and takes about 15 flight hours to fall from full Trust into unrest; an empty one takes less than three.

The clock for these effects runs only while a player is flying an airplane or helicopter. While nobody is flying, Trust neither falls nor recovers. Settlement Food consumption uses the same clock. <Sources and Factories keep working while nobody is flying.

A Settlement's panel on the [[components:live-map|Live Map]] shows its current Trust trend and its consumption in crates per flight hour.

===== States =====

The outer ring of a Hub or City on the Live Map shows its state:

  * **Healthy:** the store is full enough for Trust to hold or rise.
  * **Warning:** Trust has fallen far enough to be flagged. The Settlement still works normally.
  * **Unrest:** Trust has fallen through the warning band; see [[components:unrest|Unrest]]. Leaving unrest requires a clear margin of recovery.

===== Recovery boosts =====

Civic Administration speeds up Trust recovery in its region. It multiplies only a gain, so it has no effect below 50% Food. A UH-1H Food delivery adds a short recovery boost; further UH-1H deliveries refresh the timer rather than stack it, and the Flight Academy improves the perk.

===== Aircraft losses =====

Losing an aircraft in flight costs Trust at the nearest commissioned Hub or City within 60 km. A crash or a shoot-down counts; leaving an aircraft, in the air or on the ground, costs no Trust. See [[components:aircraft-losses|Aircraft Losses]] for the other consequences of a loss.

After a loss the Settlement loses 24 Trust per flight hour for 30 flight minutes, 12 Trust in total. Like every Trust change, the drain counts only while a player is flying; leaving the server does not run it out. Several losses near the same Settlement add up to no more than 72 Trust per flight hour. The drain can push a Settlement into [[components:unrest|unrest]] and goes on down to 0%.

An aircraft counts as shot down when an enemy hit it within the last minute before it went down. Each shoot-down also costs the region 5% [[components:security|Security]], whether or not an ambush brought it down, and every shoot-down counts in full; so does any other loss while [[components:aircraft-losses#in_danger|in danger]].
