Offworld Trading Company from Mohawk Games

So I just played a game where I think my debt was increasing big time due to there not being enough food production (following various changes to get my power in shape), but then I see my greenhouse farms are auto turned off. I turned them back on and my debt started decreasing…? I’m clearly missing or misunderstanding something here! I really should read the alamanac some more.

That particular game also saw me make one hell of a comeback mid-game, later beating the AI.
