Reproduction Bug?

And, the 1.x% (or whatever) per month is always rounded UP, so you even get 1 + 0.1% = 2 M. So, in many games, don't bother with the reproduction rate in the race setup as long as the net sum is positive.

Except that, in another fit of 5th grade math, the conditions penalties are, IIRC, simply added to the repro rate, with the result that an empire with low enough repro will drop to 0% under certain conditions, which would otherwise round up.

However in general, ya, in the unmodded game, population isn't generally a huge deal, especially since you can often move entire planet populations around on single ships, etc...
