Hi forum-goers,
I have a query re the role that population plays. I have noticed the AI boost its population growth by developing a clump of farms on a particular world. Aside from negatively impacting approval, how does this benefit an empire? Does it contribute to the empire's overall raw production number?
I am not very familiar with the sort of systems we in the game and how they interrelate with one another (partly because I'm not a 4x aficionado, despite enjoying the ones I play immensely) and I am still very much getting my head around the best ways to balance farm/manu/science, etc on a given planet.
Walk me through some of this stuff please!
