I have a problem configuring birth rates

I read the documentation about ActionSetBirthParameters but no details
I saw two params
decrease_start_population="250" decrease_halfing_population="150"
in other scenarios
are these the same as these:
chance_factor_start_population
chance_factor_doubling_population
and is this how to write them down?

Do idle behavior helps breeding? or Winter?

What that means is that after 250 people birth rates start decreasing, and every 150 more people they half, in that example you would get:

Up to 250, you get normal birth rate
After that it starts decreasing:

250 = x1
400 = x0.5
550 = x0.25
700 = x0.125

The formula would be:

if(NumberOfResidents>start_population) { return 1 / (2 ^ ((NumberOfResidents - start_population) / halfing_population)); } else{ return 1; }

ok , i undertsood that, but what's with the other two parameters, and is there a way to slightly increase the birth rate? coz i'm trying to make something similar to AdamAndEve but with absolute 0 migration

Thanks by the way

The problem is that my main two characters got old before they got any kids.
So now i changed the initial spawning to have 3 more kids. And i'm going to see if it's going to work
