Here\'s a question for you....
 

What good does population do you outside of colonization?

Re: Here\'s a question for you....
 

The larger the population, the more construction and resource bonuses you get. If your population is 0 - 99M you get 100%. If it is 100 - 499M you get 105% of normal etc... These can be found in the settings.txt file.

there are several levels of production bonus you can get the more pop you have.

Check the ability tab on your home planet and compare it to a new colony and you will see what i mean. (a Bman tip)

i believe the Last bonus is at 10B
