Population growth: How exactly does it work?

So what does that mean? That my example (26%) in the original post is correct?

They add together. Your example is correct.

Cool, thanks. I'll go wiki it.

It's a bit scrappy, but it's an improvement on what was there before. Feel free to tidy it up, people.

Has increased environmental resistance an effect if the planet condition is optimal?? If so that would be a little odd in my opinion.
And if the planet condition is deadly does increased environmental resistance rise the population growth over zero or has it no effect?

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.

How does that "Reproduction Check Frequency" factor in?
