Have to agree that we do not have enough information - Could assume
that you have enough people to do whatever as a cylinder has a
potentially large population base and would need civil services and
everything else required with the associated population base - what
kind of crops are grown - some special crops are very high value and
manpower intensive - what is the political/ economic/ social
background of the story? - (example - the colony that climate controls
for the production of your morning coffee(very manpower intensive)for
delivery to other colonies that prefer a different climate) - can you
expand your request using some of your story?
