Since I wasn't sure if you had updated your setting yet, I went through both your settings.txt and the TDM-Mod Pack setting.txt line-by-line. I notice that you didn't add the "Number Of Population Modifiers := 101" yet. No problem, I cut and paste the TDM-Mod Pack to that area. I think you are using 40.

I strongly suggest that you go back to the 40 pop modifiers of FQM Deluxe. It has a very, very different curve than stock SE4 does, to reflect the increase in population levels on planets. Using the stock on will throw everything off, and make any level of population above 10000 useless, as you get no bonus past 10000 with the stock settings. Also, all worlds will become far too productive with the stock population modifiers.

It appears that after a population of 9999, Aaron adds a high population value of 2000000.

Pop Modifier 100 Population Amount := 9999
Pop Modifier 100 Production Modifier Percent := 199
Pop Modifier 100 SY Rate Modifier Percent := 199
Pop Modifier 101 Population Amount := 2000000
Pop Modifier 101 Production Modifier Percent := 200
Pop Modifier 101 SY Rate Modifier Percent := 200

and you scale:

Pop Modifier 39 Population Amount := 149999
Pop Modifier 39 Production Modifier Percent := 285
Pop Modifier 39 SY Rate Modifier Percent := 285
Pop Modifier 40 Population Amount := 2000000
Pop Modifier 40 Production Modifier Percent := 290
Pop Modifier 40 SY Rate Modifier Percent := 290

Yah, I can see your point Imperator Fyron. I like your better. Where the confusion lies is in the "SEIV Gold Patch 1.91 Release Notes". It says that in Version 1.88: 1. Changed - Added in Imperator Fyron's smoothed population modifiers. I assumed that the 101 Population Modifiers in the stock settings.txt was what you wanted.

What caught my attention was the Last lines in the setting.txt. These lines seem to be missing from yours:

This is not a problem. Those lines are optional and were added in a patch for SE4 Gold. If they are missing, SE4 will just use the default values for them. The only reason to add them is if you are going to change them.

You know part of me also assumed that they were working on some type of default setting because why would my old Version 1.84 exe work? But not seeing the lines still caused me to freak out anyway. Thanks for your help Imperator Fyron
