> a thousend units...

Which is either rounded up to 1M people, or is 1,000M people, depopulating even a huge, breathable world in less than a year.

Say the average colony holds 500M people (since most are domed).
At a decent reproduction rate of 15% per year, that's only 7M increase per turn.

Your facilities will have to kill less than 4M people in order to remain stable. (ie. not force a player to build, then scrap after a few turns)
Now you just have to decide how many organics you can extract from a million people

Bone ships and bone stuff!!

Components

Stillsuit:for infantry its a quantem reactor.

Facilitys:

Transfer Booth Networlk:makes the pop happy

Capping facility:it makes the opulas happy and work harder,but it makes some populas unhappy so on real big planets it may cause a revolt.

Well, troops don't use supplies, so that is kinda useless.

How does it make people both happy and unhappy at the same time?
Or is it just a productivity boost at the cost of happiness, like in SE3?

i never use troops vectorians are inept at ground combat so i personalley never bother

and yes its a productivity boost at the cost ofhappiness.

In my experience, you cannot make facilities that lower population per turn (a negative replicant center) or that lower the population growth rate of a planet (a negative gestation vat). Also, happiness decreasing facilities do not work very well. I think that they lower the happiness to indifferent, but no lower.
