Using penal colonies to enforce enslavement - 1/22/2014 7:16:56 PM

I have a question mostly about the behavior of private sector passenger ships and the check box for 'use penal colonies to enforce enslavement'

If I select the planet policy to 'Resettle', the private sector will offload that population to a neighboring planet that will accept them.

If I am using penal colonies to enforce enslavement, all non penal colony worlds automatically set their policy to 'Resettle', I am assuming with the intention of resettling that population to the penal colony.

What I don't understand, is that I am still seeing a large number of my private sector moving migrants to neighboring worlds when penal colonies are active, should the passenger ships only move them to my penal colonies?

Is there a ratio cap for my race and enslaved race that once topped it moves populations to neighboring worlds? I feel that as a proud Dhayut ruler, these people are my property and I choose to place them in penal colonies, that's where they should go.

Could it be that the passenger ships are choosing the closest planet to migrate to? Penal colony or not?

Any insight?

Bueller?

I think it also might operate a little differently depending on if the enslaved race has a nearby homeworld in play. They seem to favor that over other closer penal colonies / planets.

There no penal colonies, if u have one it's only name. If u call planet ZOO it's not mean there will be only furry races :D

Accept/Assimilate - population will be migrate/emuigrate from whole universe.
Don't Accept - population will be emigrate but they will be not coming - normal grown rate
Resettle - population will be not coming, and they get priority in you passanger fleet and other empires passanger fleets. They will migrate mostly not inside you empire.
Anihilate - they just die
Slave - population will be not migrate or emigrate. Growing rate 0% / incrase colony income decrase morale

Does it really say enforce enslavement? I don't think I've ever seen this one. I do recall using prisoners as slaves though for production purposes. But nothing about enforcing slavery planets or making a planet/colony into one. Just using prisoners as slaves taken from planet/colony prisons.

Enforce is the wrong word. The actual tick box says Use Penal Colonies to Implement Slavery.

What race are you playing as? I am curious to know. I might have to try a despotic regime and see about this policy.

yeah unless you want to roleplay them, I would suggest not enslaving any other races till you are close to victory as enslavement causes population growth to be zero.
