The really evil thing about it is when you combine the three (Advanced Storage Techniques, Hardy Industrialist, Temporal Technology). Your planetary spaceyards will have improved construction from the Hardy Industrialist trait, meanwhile the extra population on the planet from advanced storage techniques will add another bonus, and when you combine that with temporal shipyards, well, it's quite impressive, especially on a huge gas giant.

"well, it's quite impressive, especially on a huge gas giant."

Just to clear up a misconception many have.. huge is huge. A huge Rock world has the same number of facility slots and population size as a huge Gas world.

And you want a ringworld for max population bonuses anyway

No, it allows you to have more population on each planet, and so they can sometimes allow you to get into the next level of bonus. With a huge planet, the max goes from 8000 to 9600, which allows the planet to get a 10% higher bonus than normal (if it gets 9000 or more pop on it).

For a maximum of 10% more bonus.

Pop modifiers stop at 10 bil.

I have classic, and the few times I've used advanced storage, I've seen the population go up. Mind you, it doesn't go up much - 400M extra people on a Medium-sized homeplanet - but it's something.
