Starting pops have 7 different ethics?

[Bl4ckSh33p]

Just started as Lithoid Megacorp and usually starting pops have your empire ethics. But my planet has 7 different ethics. I started as mechanist with robots. Is this a bug?

This is intended

 

[MordridBlack]

yeah...no that's a bug

there are some in game events that can switch you into a different ethic [old gods event chain line as an example if you do the right choices]

but nothing that allows you to have that many

keep playing the game to see if any of your pops choose to follow ethics outside of the ones you defaulted to

 

[unbeatable101]

No, pops at the start of the game are randomized with which ethics they follow

Yeah, it happens for me too, but it's not a big deal : generally, all of the planet's pops just get your ethics throughout the game since it's the capital planet, so don't worry.
