I just love having AI allies that spam corvets into your fed fleet.

The same way Stargate somehow missed that Ancient Cache on the British Isles until teh start of Season 9.Context: Got the "Precursor Discovery" event 40 years into the game... on my homeworld's neighboring moon. How in the Hell did we miss that?!

According to the planet info, there are no pops there, although the deficit seems to be for one biological pop (a ruler? or perhaps just under Utopian Abundance) and the capital building is producing jobs, but not housing. Not to mention the 1 energy it's producing from... somewhere.If you want to keep it, make sure that the last pop doesn't die or emigrates, otherwise you'll have build up your star for nothing. Interesting bug though.
Usually you life between a "Rock and a hot place". Not on the hot place.
Just by owning it, pops can already grow there.According to the planet info, there are no pops there, although the deficit seems to be for one biological pop (a ruler? or perhaps just under Utopian Abundance) and the capital building is producing jobs, but not housing.

I think it's safe to say the game is thoroughly confused about all this.
Slave Market?Organic rebels of a machine empire

And it's the capital system! Note that of the 100 pops in this system, less than a quarter are still of the machine species

Now, overall, there is roughly 1/4 of the pops who are 'organics' in the remainder of this machine empire

Now, the thing is: I wonder how so many organic pops got there. Yes, organic pops can continue to grow, even if you produce no food at all, but this is very slow, it take more than 10 years to grow a new pop. The machine empire is actually boxed in by a regular (organic) empire, if my count is right, it only acquired 1 system from it, and this has no habitable planet. However, the machines waged many humiliation wars against their neighbor.
But doesn't the 0% habitability make the pops decline, and once you have 0 pops there you probably won't own it again?Just by owning it, pops can already grow there.

That happened to me too in my playthrough of that empire. Annexed them, but they aren't considered Xenos, so I had to put up with their Egalitarians and Xenophiles. It was a very bad start to the game.Cant get steam to take a screenshot, but just started a 2.3 game as Commonwealth of Man, found Sol two jumps away, way to go wormhole jump Hyacinth.

There is this bug where sometimes one side of a combat is not properly engaging."Station Under Attack. Station Under Attack. Station Under Attack. Station Under Attack. Station Under Attack."
(The Pictured Station was not considered to be engaging the fleet attacking it.)
