Is there a way to limit pop-growth on a planet that only has a space station and therefore a limited number of pop-space? it is annoying to have them reproduce above the limit and then revolting having not enough space to live in...
Right now there appears to be no option to limit it. All you can do is provide Lebensraum or fight the unrest. I am personally hoping for a population cap mechanic for space stations, which works similarly to what we have for orbital bodies.
Newer player so this confused me a bit. OP wants to limit pop growth on a planet - Kilo replied 'no, but then stated there is a method for 'orbital bodies'. What is the distinction between a planet and an orbital body? Planet, asteroid, comet, moon - all can have colonies, so I was treating 'planet' as a generic orbital body for this convo.
How do you cap growth on an orbital body? I can stop immigration, but I can't impose sterilization right? Peeps gonna make babies and make infra so the babies can go live on the planet/orbital body despite the 'stable' setting. If it is a high CC world (using Habs, so prob), the auto infra building can't keep up with the sex addicts.
I assume there is a 'colony' on the planet to contain the installations the Hab peeps are working, for which the Hab peeps gleefully make infra whether you want it on that surface or not. Issue could be the colony using the overall planet pop max for the growth % even tho there is no capability to survive on the surface atm? Or does it happen once infra hits the surface, the colony see's the max planet pop size as the number to use for pop growth, despite your lack of infra to house them all?
Either eliminate the ability for Hab peeps to construct Infra, or make sure the Planet pop cap isn't used in the pop growth formula for Hab only colonies?
