ER has no relation to planetary conditions; it is just a 1/5th reproduction and happiness effect.

Optimal planets get the same benefit/penalty from ER as any other.

Deadly planets can have positive growth rates either from high levels of ER or from high levels of reproduction (or a combination). In a quick test, 130% reproduction and 100% ER netted 22% growth rate on a deadly planet. Deadly just means the base rate is very low, some negative value.
