Scaling Pop Growth [3.4.x]

This mod adds a planetary deposit that adjusts pop growth depending on the amount of pops on a planet. It was inspired by Carrying Capacity by starchitec.
The deposit works in the following ways:

❶For Organics:
-Every pop on a planet increases growth by an exponent of 1.01, leading to a dramatic growth curve (up to 245 pops affect it)
-If no housing is left, a huge emigration push modifier is added

❷For Robots:
-A roboticist job is added for every 25 robotic pops, up to a maximum of 16
-If no housing is left, robots cease assembling

❸For Machines:
-A replicator job is added for every 25 pops (no cap)
-A stacking 10% multiplicative bonus to pop assembly, capping at 70% Note: This keeps the growth (somewhat) matched to organic growth
-If no housing is left, robots cease assembling

❹Emigration:
1: Emigration can reduce pop growth by 99.99%
2: Immigration potential increased to 15, from default 5


❶This mod should be compatible with almost any mod, however the Defines file is touched at the following lines:
MAX_GROWTH_FROM_IMMIGRATION
MAX_GROWTH_PENALTY_FROM_EMIGRATION
Mods that touch these lines will not necessarily be incompatible, but one mod will overwrite the other at these lines.

❷Carrying Capacity by starchitec would technically work with this mod, but to chaotic effect that I could not recommend- but hey, the things we do for science.

❸Planetary Diversity by Gatekeeper does work with this mod, but please note that unlike standard worlds (i.e. Continental), the modifier will not be present on game start. Progressing the game 1 month will result in the modifier appearing correctly.


A function has been added to the game that automatically adjusts growth values based on available housing. This can affect the function of this mod. As a result, I warn readers that this mod may be subject to changes in an effort to better compensate and work around this new effect. -04/18/2021

A very helpful mod to help mitigate pop management, as well as help brainless AI utilize their pops properly.
