Hi!

No need to use plural here: "good breeders". Your numbers already did show that in games I'd play (some 30 planets per player) one 75% "breeder" would be sufficient to pop all the reds I'd expect to get in my share of the universe.

Anyway, in my games I have a habit to have one or two mineral-poor breeders held at 50% pop just for purpose of producing pop for future conquests. OTOH when those conquest give me lots of planets, then I start hitting RL and Stars! hard-coded limits, and colonizing reds just compounds them.

Your study per-se is OK. You just confirmed the old wisdom: "When you run out of habitable planets, colonize reds". And for that you don't need a wall of text. Please do add a TL/DR for mere mortals. Wink
