Just making a post for a quick response where population growth is meant to be HORRIBLE/ATROCIOUS given that a good portion of it has the Ritualistic Implants Trait - which do not reproduce. It doesn't get better after you finish the ascension either.
So am curious if the best *Only* Scenario is to just Robot-Spam ASAP despite not getting the reduced upkeep & such from Materialist Ethics.
It just feels like you're pushed & pulled in so many funky directions with this origin - mostly with respect to the new population mechanics. As you're kind of forced to NEVER go two Ethics right, you must pick a 3rd to spread out your pops more. Even then you'll probably be behind by 1000s of citisens by the 2220s, let alone the mid-game mark.
