Life is cheap!
We go around dumping billions of people into space without a second thought, all because life is cheap... too cheap. The problem is the massive repoduction of our planets. When nearly 2 billion people can be "born" on a huge/optimal/jubiliant planet in just over 1 month, what are a few hundred million here and there.
Reproduction rates need to be lowered considerably... or at least allow us(me) to do that in a mod.
What I suggest:
Allow reproduction rates to be measured in the tenths of percents (i.e., 0.5%, 1.3%, ect.). This also applies to buying reproduction trait, and to facility bonuses.
Allow us to determine how planet conditions and happiness affect reproduction (i.e., Jubiliant +.3%, Unpleasant conditions -.8%, ect.)
Track populations in thousands, not millions... it can be abbreviated to M or B once the pop. gets high enough.
And finally, allow us to determine how much colonists weigh (right now 100 weigh only 1 pound!)
Anyone else think people breed way too fast, and would like to see it reduced, thus giving much more value to population?
