Hello co-creators!

I’ve just gotten back into ES2 with the Supremacy update, and I’ve been playing a lot of Vodyani (trying to come to grips with all the changes since Vanilla). I’ve played four games on hard through turn 75 with varying levels of focus on the Essence economy, and I realize that I don’t actually know the average growth speed of an empire in the current build.

I don’t suppose that anyone else has taken the time to put down the numbers on how fast they put down colonies in a game they feel is going well? How many turns can you go without colony development before you start sweating about being behind the curve?
