That should do the trick - spreading the pop almost like the race is 3-immune. Nod Thanks!


3-immune AR spreads as equally it only can but 1-immune spreads about 25% to yellow compared to 100% planet. 120 000 hold until you have all yellows at least 30 000 pop. Then 240 000 hold until you have all yellows at least 60 000 pop and so on. Of course take greens always in first order but these are taken by 2420-2425 usually. Wink

The logic is that 125 000 pop gives ~400 resources (energy is ~13 since energy and construction should be about same with both cheap.). Notice that for neighbour -F it takes 400 000 pop to have resources that you got with 125 000 pop. Also poor -F builds mines and maybe even defenses. Laughing AR can of course grow it double there (wasted valuable 5 years with 15% PGR) but then it is +170 resources (not so bad for LF of pop but still) and +15 mines only. For normal energy AR the numbers are 370 and 155 since its energy is about 11 when cheap energy AR got 13.

Better idea (both in testbed and in multiplayer) is to have that second LF of pop spread between 3-4 nearby weaker places!

It gives over 200 resources (about like 2 LFs of -F pop) and 70 (see +55!) mines there. Other races pay 150 resources for these mines for ARM'less AR they cost ~270 resources and almost 100 ironiums in this phase of game! Now they did come effortlessly and AR builds 3 docks to use their fruits now and then. Spreading better means more minerals to spread on etc.

Colony does all important things: it fuels and casually builds, it defends your territory and it terraforms. It does not grow much (yet) but with 15% PGR you will be swimming in population too soon. May not look like it at 2430 with such HE-sized colonies but at 2450 deathstars of the 90%+ value planets are at their 33% hold as minimum. Nod

Other point for using measure units of 30 000 pop is the -IFE logistics! Simple table how QJ5+ 2 tanks LF (should have these at year 2411) with 300kT cargo on board will fly:
155 l
