Popluation Bug

from Stardock Forums
I don't have a savegame for this one, I'll try to replicate it. What happens is that the population of the home system's minor world will reach 1-3B and stop increasing, even with a high approval rate. I never colonize these worlds, I prefer to let the AI colonize them and then let them flip, so usually all tiles are full when I receive them. After I terraform a tile and add a farm the population will start growing normally.

This would be due to the population-growth cap on low PQ worlds. You can still hit the normal population cap via sending people in transports/colonies.

See this wiki page and the numbers you were seeing should coincide.

So a level or two into the terraforming tree should up the PQ beyond 5 and thus bring you to the 6bil non-homeworld/non-farmed planet cap.

Funny I've never noticed that until this week. :p
