SE5 1.08: Population reproduction bugs |
My home planet has been sending out many colony ships (dozens), but it has been quiet for a long time. I find that the population stays at 3960 of 4000 and never grows any higher. The planet says a reproduction rate of 13% and migration rate of 6% even though conditions are Unpleasant. I think every other planet has a migration rate too... so why doesn't this one grow the last 40M?
In fact I would say that the whole empire is growing slowly even though I've added level 9 Medical Labs to some systems and even more have level 2 Genetic Recoding Labs.
Thanks,

Time Value
I'm reasonably certain that population growth is given in percent per YEAR, not turn. Dunno why the numbers aren't ballancing though as far as actual growth (please be aware that because population growth is compound, simply dividing by 10 won't work either).
There are 10 types of people in the world:
Those that understand binary, and those that don't.




Possibly migration
It's probably due to migration to other planets in your empire.
