Planet conditions red herring?
It appears to me that race growth is not connected to the planet conditions, nor does Environmental Resistance seem to do anything for a race's environmental conditions. Are these things used by any part of the game for any reason? I cannot find anything in the data files that uses them other than the fact that you can change planets to have better conditions and modify a races environmental resistance at the start of the game.
Do these things do anything?

Re: Planet conditions red herring?
As the planet's conditions worsen, the population growth rate decreases.
Environmental resistace is not quite what you would expect.
IIRC, 5% ER == 1% reproduction (traits).
Conditions effects are very pronounced if you reduce the reproduction rate of your race.
My piratey races for P&N get 0% growth under all conditions except for:
Optimal/Happy := 1%
Optimal/Jubilant := 3%
Even Good/Jubilant := 0%

You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring.
