My population refuses to grow; now what?

April 16, 2006 6:37:08 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Why won't my population grow? At all? I searched the forum for "population growth" and read the relevant articles. My planets are all well below the maximum population according to planet quality, my approval is 100%, there is plenty of excess food on every planet, no one has invaded any of my planets, I didn't select any racial growth penalties.

This is ridiculous. How am I supposed to be able to win if my population refuses to increase?!?

Can you post a screen shot of the planet in question? I'm pretty sure you are getting a PQ display bug (try counting the tiles instead of looking at the number).

And FYI, there are no "growth penalties." In fact, there are no negative traits in GalCivII at all.

Yes there is. At 40% Morale and less, population stop growing, and at 19% Morale and less, you start losing people on the planet each turn.

what he meant was there are no "penalities" you can take. like you cant say ok ill take a hit in pop growth in exchange for a boosted econ. he just meant that you cant have a penalty like that. but kalin is correct in the fact that morale does affect things like that.

I've noticed this bug on some of my planets too, and I've already sent a saved game to stardock. It usually happens to one or two planets that refuse to grow beyond a certain point (usually low billions) no matter how many farms you add or what the approval rating is. I think I also noticed this bug tends to be with low PQ planets (like Mars, etc) and not on higher PQ planets.

At a certine point, based on the planets PQ, pop. won't grow on it own. people need to be transpoted manualy. I suggest troop transports for the job.

Based on that chart, Earth's maximum population should be 26, yet I couldn't get it past 13.89

Oh well, downloading the update seems to have fixed it. But that led to a whole bunch of other problems, of course. . . sigh.
