For me, this means that
(1) I don't need to be as precise with pop management as I have been trying to, and building an extra freighter to get 35% down to 33% is probably not worth it;


Well... if I may link to a post of my own: Colonisation

There is also a subchapter called "Why not letting your HW grow straight to 42% before colonisation?"


I agree - given that there is another decent world nearby. For me the realization was that if max production (in absolute numbers) from one breeder was the goal, there is not much difference between 25 - 33 - 42 percent. Of course, 25% reaches the same absolute number with much less pop, so of course the percentage is much better.

(the specific context for my graphing exercise was the current challenge where you have a 50 year delay on the AI, so you can't really get any planets initially, hence pop is either on the planet being productive or on a freighter making room for growth).
