Question about reproduction in SEV

[President_Elect_Shang]

Reproduction rates can be adjusted the same way as in SE4. Open the Settings.txt file and search for “Reproduction Check Frequency” to control how often growth is checked for; the default being every turn (1). Also search for “Race Starting Percent Reproduction” which controls the reproduction rate.

Question #1: Can reproduction rates include decimal values (more appropriate for exponential growth)?

Yes. I use 4.2% percent with a check every turn (1) in my Mod. I haven’t done the math yet but it seems to be working fine.

Lord_Shleepy said:
Question #2: Can reproduction rates be represented using a formula?

No only spaces that say “Formula” can take formula. That’s not say that you can’t add in an ability for reproduction and put a formula with that. It depends on what you’re goal is.

Speaking of outrageous reproduction rates... I'm playing v1.13 with the Balance Mod v0.96, as Humanoids, rock/oxygen. A few turns ago I colonized a Small Rock/Methane planet (domed colony), Unpleasant conditions, 118mR/yr, 0.56g gravity, 91deg temperature.

Stardate 2404.8 population: 22M/250M
Stardate 2404.9 population: 139M/250M
Stardate 2405.0 population: 223M/250M
Stardate 2405.1 population: 250M/250M

The rates on my other dozen or so planets seem OK though.

Mea culpa, figured this one out. Somehow the Xi'Chung migrated onto this planet, I have a treaty allowing this with them and must have missed how they transferred 100M+ people onto my world in one turn. They breath methane and are breeding like insect on this planet. Actually they ARE insects. Not too shabby, got me a non-domed mineral-rich colony, too bad it's the only methane planet in my systems .

If you jettison or move your own population from the planet, you'll be able to get your colony undomed and access to the full amount of facilities etc.

Those aren't really reproduction rates... In Space Empires V, your population migrates between planets. Thus, only a small part of that is from reproduction, the rest is unhappy people leaving your homeworld and going to get a nice house and job in the new, pristine colonies.

This only occurs with the planets that have your breathable atmosphere, otherwise it is pure reproduction.... unless you have a treaty allowing foreign breathing races to migrate.

While SEV may allow decimal points in percentages.... does it track population at the decimal point level as well?
