That provides additional potential resources as you allude to later..."and you still have to get the pop from somewhere".

In case you're wondering, I was including the capacity from the extra factories the pop could operate.

Agreed, although as you likely surmised, I'm still trying to figure out early game strategies. Smile

Indeed. I was just summarising the most clear-cut case.

Not sure I follow your math, there. Can you elaborate?

I forget how I did that, actually. I believe I screwed it up.

The point is, in general, that the extra pop growth isn't significant enough to matter in the short term (less than 20 turns) unless you have a really narrow band.

True, but is it the resource integral up to a certain point, or after? If it's the former, then your point is well take. If it's the latter, then the resources will drive the resource integral moving forward.

Likely, it's both. And unless we're in the very late game, I would imagine it's safe to say there will be good things to spend resources on.

Well, obviously, terra pays itself off in the long run, but your question is when to do it.

Generally, factories and mines should come first, as long as that's what will get the terra done the fastest. IOW, it really depends on both your race specs and the planet.
