It's great! You even made the calculation.

I'm curious to know how you did it. I struggle to understand how pop gain work.

The  main mod I made, you can  get more than 1 pop per turn in a city. But it's not enough accurate.

As I don't understand how all this calculate many things, I need to try and test. 

I don't know if GrowthNet is a variable you always add something into, or if it reset to zero when a pop is created.

They also have complicated formula for consomption:

0.25 * (Target.Population + Target.InvestedPopulation) ^ 2 + 6 * (Target.Population + Target.InvestedPopulation)

I don't know if it apply to Camp too.

Here I don't know what is "InvestedPopulation". 

The calculation is only tentative. I may have to change it again if necessary (it currently is a bit slower than vanilla in total, but faster for the first pops). Because from the table and the previous excess food = 1% grwoth does not seem correct, even though I had it in my game :/. I changed the formula since then because it seems to use the normal formula here too.

GrowthNet is basically the net after you deduct the food consumption. It is the number that is shown at the top on the screen which shows how much you gain or lose each turn.

The formula for GrowthGain looks if GrowthNet is positive and applies its growth formula. If GrowthNet is negative, GrowthLoss is used. 

In outposts the consumption is only Population. With pops over the limit doing an additional -16 each. Though it seems to be -8 in neolithic age.

I did not look into InvestedPopulation yet. But it might be the pop cost when you build something and it is still in the queue maybe?

To help me to understand, I made like you, some calculation on Excel!

It's far more clear now. GrowthNet should be the number you see as a total in your food production. Can be negative if you have too much pop and don't produce enough food.

So, there is also a GrowthLoss property, making you loose pop if you have negative GrowthNet.

Then, it go in the formula. This formula do 3 things :

- Use your GrowthNet and see how many turns it take to get a "GrowthGain". GrowthGain is when you reach 1, you get a citizen. I suppose the game add values in GrowthGain, and then GrowthGain reset to zero when you get 1 pop.

- Make sure you can't win more than One pop per turn.

- Use the game speed, so you can get more than one pop per turn at fast speed and blitz. Not shown in this screen. It's the "Source.MaxPopulationGainedPerTurn" that is in the complete formula.
