Status: offline 		Hi,

in my game my homeplanet has this world wonder with 100% population growth boost. So it has 20 billion people max with 15% population growth.
In this game i reduced the taxes to 0% on the colonized planets.. and they have population growth up to 100%.

1.What happens with the population on my homeplanet. Is everyone over the max transported automatically with the passenger ships? Or is it stupid to build this wonder on a planet with max population?

2.When i set the tax to auto control (tax is between 20% and 47%).. all planets have a population growth under 10%..
So I dont understant why the population growth is so much higher with tax set to 0%.. So the population growth cant be only due to transport from the home planet, or?

Status: offline 		Never build that wonder on your home world, because others give the same or greater development increase and your home world can reach maximum population within 3-5 years at zero taxes. Pick one of your colonies of size (capacity) > 30 and quality > 90% and build the wonder there. Tax at zero and eventually you will have a full planet with high revenue. Actually, that wonder usually gets built by the 8th year by an AI in my games, because growing population by low taxes is much slower than immigration, and I want the five generic facilities built first on my colonies. To get high growth rates for your empire, be friends with everybody, use size 800 passenger ships carrying 180 million each, and tax at zero. When a colony has maximum population, passenger ships will arrive from other empires to carry off the excess. One complaint I have is that my passenger ships ignore my home world in favor of traveling halfway across the galaxy to pick up passengers from an AI empire home world, when the colonies near my home world are still small.

Status: offline 		Thanks,
but when I have researched this wonder.. my second best planet has only 2 billion people.. so it takes 10 times longer to build the wonder there.. Then the AI is faster.

So what happens when the planet has Max pop but and has a high population growth? Do I loose them?

It would be very nice to control passenger Ships manualy..
You can do so much DW legend.. but some basic features like transporting populations is not possible.

And how is the max Pop calculated.. I have a planet with 26.6k and quality is 83%. If I multiply 26.6k*0.83=22.2k, but my max population is 17.3k million people.

Status: offline 		Jeeves,your suggestion on wonders does not work out, because the AI chooses the larger planets, meaning in 96% of cases the homeworld, for wonder construction. So if you want to have the wonder, homeworld or not should not matter, judt build at the larger planet. All of this, incidentally, points at a problem with several wonders, which can't be built at the places where they might be useful...
