1/5 hab, but the average value of those green planets is probably 35-40%. You'll see a 60+% planet about as often as the CA sees a 90+% planet. While you are paying resources to tform your best planets, the CA is buying infrastructure and ships and research, and he has a lot more pop room on his breeders than you do, so gets more use out of the best planets. Your growth rate on an uncrowded 60% planet (14.4%) is only 33% better than his growth rate on an uncrowded 90% planet (10.8%), and as the breeders begin to reach capacity, a higher percentage of his population is growing on better planets. By the time your second colony (third planet) reaches 25% cap, his effective growth rate is probably the same as yours. After that his growth rate pulls ahead, and stays ahead.
My goal was to use a very simple restriction to make it really really hard to play a CA. I honestly think I may not have made it hard enough.
