Description
Dimensional Population Replication Technology creates exact copies of individuals across different dimensions, increasing population numbers exponentially.
Benefits
Ground defence Empire-wide+2.35%
Happiness Empire-wide+0.94%
Population growth Empire-wide+4.71%
Strategy notes
Dimensional Population Replication develops the PopulationGrowth discipline within Expansion and Terraforming. Open marginal systems early, then turn fragile settlements into durable and populous worlds. Its immediate value is +4% Happiness; +20% Population Growth; +10% Ground Defence. The principal counterpressure is that planetary programs mature slowly and expose expensive frontier infrastructure before it can defend itself.
Player hints
This tier begins to define an empire. Compare its resource demand with the other technologies competing for your laboratories. Favor this technology when its PopulationGrowth benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects.
