A mining colony I takes 17 turns with that level of pop. Now try to develop multiple worlds at a time, you need all of the population from the homeworld. Granted, a mining colony I makes 2000 minerals and 1500 radioactives, but ships cost a lot more resources to build in the mod. Homeworlds do not get anything special except for a single Homeworld Hub, which is not very productive, just has several misc abilities and some storage. This is what makes it take so long to develop anything in the mod... It is definitely no Proportions, but it is still rather slow.

I agree with Fyron. I'm playing a solo game, having to almost deplete a homeworld of it's population to populate other worlds to try to cut down on some time is ridiculous. I'm finding myself cutting down on transporting my transports so that my homeworld can build up it's population again before I send more people out. I don't have any suggestions, but surely some method can be done to improve on this.
