where it says 1 resources for every 1000 pop in the race wizard. what do most people on average pick? i notice it gives alot of points.. is like 1300 good so you can put points to hab and have more planets??

1/1000 for HG or -f, 1/2500 for HP. Anything else is pretty much suboptimal. Occasionally you'll see a -f with 1/900, though.

The reason is that those "free" pop resources are extraordinarily important to ramp speed. Those are what start your factories off. They also affect capacity. If you take a look at the factory efficiency/cost/number settings, you'll find that recouping that deficit will cost you more points than you lost, for small adjustments like you suggest.

Now, of course, the thing is, you lose less and less of your pop resources the lower you set your pop efficiency. So it becomes more profitable to lower it the lower it is. Hence, the other optimal setting is 1/2500, which is what HPs use - this, however severely limits ramp speed, even with lower factory costs and higher factory efficiency.

For comparison: An HP with 15/7/25/3g factories and OBRM loading a world to capacity and supplying sufficient (8k+) Germanium will finish its queue in 13 years. An HG with 12/9/16/3g factories and OBRM loading a world to capacity and supplying sufficient (5k+) Germanium will finish its queue in 9 years.
