production wheel and population relationships

from GalCiv3 Forums

out of curiosity does anyone know how population effects production

what i mean is

is 1 population with 100% focus on production with no modifiers = to 1 production?

this is how i assumed it would work

however i currently have a planet with 183.1 population and a bonus 3525% and 100% production focus
this should add up to ~6,600 production however i am receiving ~24,000  about 4x what i figure i should be getting.

 

further using this 24,000 production gives me an economic stimulus of 10,151 a little less then half (41%) the value of my production however the xml says it should be 1/4

Better question is, when will the game be rebalanced. The old galciv2 metric of pricing and payouts won't work anymore.

(Good work at making a mega planet :)- )

From my tests, I think 1 billion pop. will make 2 production if you run 100% production.

Well in a regular game you have race bonuses and the initial colony has a production bonus so that's why.

1 population is one production without any modifiers. Fact.

In beta 2, yes one Pop = 1 production point. However you can boost the manufacturing, wealth or research as they translate from production by building improvements that give % bonus to a particular use. 

In Beta 3, this will change, as population to production will become a curve. You will actually get more than 1 to 1 on really low population planets, but as your population grows your will reach a point where you get diminishing returns. This will make Factories, Labs, and economic improvements much more important.

a curve such as   population  =7√food  ?

or is it actually changing the value of population - production as population gets higher?
