The Great Simplification #42

This is a very important addition to add / work on at this point since without former knowledge the program is very hard to setup. Ease of use is the target goal here and is also basically how a larger audience can be reached. Also half the people using these sims are absolute bellends who can't do simple mathematics.

As it is currently, it frequently asks from the user to insert own numbers and such. It would be a lot simpler for the user if they can instead make use of predefined values.

Templates Something like templates can also be considered here, setup the settings according to this.

Balance around base numbers What if we only ask the user to insert a number which they can consider is the absolute average and possibly give an additional number which represents the step to the next improvement.

This way you can make all the things surrounding it a lot more simple by just balancing it around these few numbers! Can be extrapolated to other values too.

Note to self Make it more concrete on what you're going to simplify, what the correct preset values and numbers are, which areas are impacted by this and finally it is going to look like.

Keep also in mind that having "fun" with a game is about playing with the limitations that have been set.

Addendum: vague ideas are not great to add here as 'issues' after all, should be reserved for your cute notebook.
