A NOTE ABOUT THE BASE POPULATION

by Hazed

Builds all work on the base population of a planet, and are not cumulative. Here's what Alan has to say about that:

"Originally I intended builds to work on compounded figures. However, that would make it much more difficult for players to calculate the effect of builds, and possibly the result would be affected by the order in which the builds were applied.

"Therefore, I decided to make all of the effects be calculated on the base population - which starts out at 1,000. The only thing that affects the base population is if you move workers between planets. Everything the builds do changes the total population, not the base population."

So it doesn't matter how the builds you have already done affect the size of your population, the effect of any further builds you do will be calculated on the base population.
