Population Managment duplicate/move

System Management

I propose that the population management (AKA Spaceport) that is on the Star system management screen, be moved to the System Management screen under the Empire management screen.


Since you can see all of your colonies readily on this screen, it would be 10x easier to move populations around to other star systems.  You can also grab populations and move them around within the system, so it would only be a matter of adding a few mechanics and UI changes to make this work.


I would also propose a mouse over the small planet icons so that you could actually see what the planet has for environment, anomalies etc.  This would aid in the population moving process.  




Currently, it is very tedious to zoom in and out to look at all the planets to manage the populations.  This is important to optimise efficiency and operations.  Not to mention that with my memory, by the time I zoom back into the planet I forget the destination  LOL


I will see about adding some pictures when I get some time.

You can move population from one system to another on the Systems tab of the Empire screen by clicking on the planet column and the dragging and dropping the population.

I personally find it strange that only way to reach the population management screen is either through a pop change popup, horation faction link, or throug hactually going down into your system and clicking a population unit, there actually is no straight up way to reach it through any other means that I know of.

Anything to somehow help moving population around would be much appreciated, especially by the ecologist players.

I would also request additional ways to customize the civillian ships so that riftborn don't struggle so hard with their movement speed penalty.

Another great way to simplify what is currently very painful (moving pop from all systems to another location), would be to have kind of an automated process. Could be coupled with a law name "Relocation Bonus", where the governement offers some money to pop to move wherever they want, and its effect would be an automated optimization of relocating pop (with a limit per turn, let say).


Another way would be to include that in the tech tree, with different levels, i.e. different levels of optim.


A third way would be under the empire  management, and have, as  the leader, the opportunity to set the rules with an open engine.

Object (type of population) + Action (let them go where they are the most effective OR avoid specific systems OR encouraging colonizing specific systems) + Original location (specific system[s] where this rule applies) + Destination location (specific system[s] set as destination in the action).

And you could limit the number of rules per governement type, techs from the tree, or whatever best.


All these ideas came from my difficulties in late games to really micromanage some population, especially dealing with slaves as a craver or cravers as their invader. It can happen also owith pop suffering badly from being mixed with aliens, such as Riftborns or Horatio. Or the other way around, Unfallen having bonuses from the good mix of pop type. With automated rules, it will ease that for the player, without removing a very strategic task. Just removing a very boring one :)

This is something we'd like to do indeed (not move the space port exactly, but at least have the ability to move population from the Star system management screen).

As I posted many Ideas about that, and many messages on the forum saying actual system is like hell, I fully support your idea.

Sure with it would move to Greenlight soon, becuase pop management is really annoying in the bigger galaxies.
