I'm unfamiliar with the IS thing.

Inner-Strength population grows in freighters as though on a 50% world with no crowding. As there is no meaningful limit on the amount of Super Freighters you can build, this lets you have a breeding base of arbitrary size that isn't based on planets. This means you can run all your worlds up to 300% of capacity (causing 8% deaths per year), in order to eke out more resources (as population between 100% and 300% works at half efficiency).

The double-growth trick is an exploit of the Stars! order of events. The order is freighter growth -> production -> planetary growth. However, freighter growth can overflow onto a planet you control if it exceeds available cargo space, which means it's on the planet for production and planetary growth and therefore grows again (as well as producing resources/operating installations for that turn).

But sitting on the formula? That's tbe same d###ed closed-source mindedness that has crippled the community.

If someone were to do it for all their discoveries, I'd agree with you, but between these four threads I think I'm doing my part as of late. Like I said, this is a very minor thing - the formula in general use by most utilities is what Stars! is trying to use, there's just a few different rounding errors. The true formula, including all those rounding errors, is so nightmarishly complex that I can't see it being of great use in a real game (Altruist ain't wrong with that evil grin). The only exception would be if someone managed to cobble together a utility, but I've always been of the opinion that people using others' utilities are riding on those others' success and one's utilities should be crafted by oneself (for instance, while I use Posey's spreadsheet, I understand basically all the mechanics in it and have in fact corrected several errors in my copy, besides making another half-dozen single-purpose spreadsheets of my own).
