Yes, but, a planet with 10000 pop and a planet with 1000000 pop have the exact same production values.

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.

Yes, the new scale is what I wanted, for stock SE4. But FQM is not stock SE4. FQM Deluxe has a lot more population on every planet, so it needs a different scale. Otherwise, extra population on larger planets would not really matter. Past 10 billion, all levels of population are the same with stock SE4. Medium planets can get 10 billion population in FQM Deluxe (if you take Advanced Storage Techniques). This is why the new stock pop scale is not good for FQM Deluxe, as it makes the extra population capacity of Large and Huge planets meaningless, except as a big source of pop to move to other worlds.
