Default Re: Formula for productivity? Relevance of population?

Yes, as long as there are people on the planet, you can run the max number of facilities normally.

But higher populations give the colony bonuses. After my first wave of colony ships, I usually construct a population transport. I try to increase my colonies to at least 100M (1st bonus amount). Not only do I get the bonuses, but I now allow my empire population to grow faster.

The bonuses are not only to production. Planetary construction also increases. At 100M, it's a 5% increase. 500M, you get 10% total increase.
