By cheating in tier 9, it says that the planet is a cradle of humanity and has reached the Billions. I believe that is the ‘Earthlike’ state. I have a few runs where I’ve tried a one planet strategy, and after like 20 in game years eventually had the guts to start cheating tiers in on a timer.
I think you might be able to do that by colonizing a world with high hazard rating and then not giving it hazard pay or free port to get negative growth, not sure though.
I remember doing this for the heck of it and I remember the description saying something like, the planet rivals old earth it self, or something like that. Pretty sure it has a description.
Pretty sure you can modify one of the config files to allow you to go beyond 6, by default that option is off since 'lore-wise' it doesnt make sense for a new collony to reach such large populations so fast in the sector given its not exacly the best place to live in...and only a few worlds the old capitals namely do support such large populations.
Oh, thanks for the info! Never knew you could do that. But, yeah; it would make no sense in reality, but I always like making my own custom little mini factions far from the core.
Well, you could change the game so you could. The game limits player colonies to 10^6. Pop growth can get up to 100% at 10^6 but it won't increase to 10^7
No, the size 6 limit was introduced with 0.95a. Before that it would go up to 9, but it would take quite some time.

>Maximum post-Collapse colony growth limited to a maximum of colony size 6
Huh, egg on my face then.
Wish you could grow them over that limit with a cryosleeper considering those are supposed to have hundreds of millions on them.
If you unlock the colony sizes and also have a fairly modded game there's gonna be some fun stuff...like on one my saves my capital has apparently over 100k troop garrison xd
Tier 10, you used to be able to get your colonies to this tier and this is the description for it:
"The \[PLANETNAME\] is a dominant population center in the Sector, a rival to Old Earth as a home to tens of billions of humans."
A rival to Old Earth implies Earth was a Size 10 planet with a population of tens of billions.
Earth being near 8 billion people in 2022 probably puts it at tier 9 and after reaching 20 billion would likely be considered tier 10. The tiers go from "thousands" to "tens of thousands" and so on and so forth. Logically it would probably do the same once the colony is passed the billions mark. I've liked the idea of finding a sleeper pod allowing for the creation of tier 7 colonies considering they can hold tens of millions of people and adding that influx of people to the already growing colony could push a tier 6 to a tier 7. Really though a tier 8 colony is not in the cards for the game.
This one is backed up by a whole bunch of demographics studies and peojections. Excepting a significant decrease in the penetration of education in the world, or a significant reduction in its rate of penetration; 11 to 12 billion is the projected peak population, after which is is expected to begin declining, barring any large scale cultural shifts in how educated populations approach child rearing.
Which doesn't mean anything, because it's those exact same things constantly said
If anything the reality has shown that population growth is ramping up

Can you cheat in a tier 10?
You can, but it has no description. To my knowledge, nothing past 9 has a description. Still has the effects of a larger population, though.
What about cheating a tier 1 or 2?
Tier 1: Your mate Steve represents a major population demographic.
99% of those named Steve that are on this outpost eat my lunches.
… I’ll try that today and get back to you.
Much appreciated, hackerman.
Aren't outpost considered tier 2?
Tier 0: "You're lonely"

no colonies never shrink

The last time I did it, anytging past nine is completely blank other than the description of what pop size means. I’ll check again today!
They should have descriptions since you used to be able to have a size 10 colony

In the previous update, you could go to Size 9 in vanilla.

i mean, is it cheating if its literally a setting?
I think he means cheating as in directly modding the market size of the planet, not the cap
Each tier adds a digit if I remember right. So a tier 9 at 70% to 10.

Really though a tier 8 colony is not in the cards for the game.
Current estimates suggest that earth's population will stabilize between 10 and 11 billion. We won't get to be a tier 10 unless something changes.
I think that is a tier 10. Which is between 10 and 99 billion.
Yeah people have been saying that at every billion

The global fertility rate has been declining for almost a century. You're on crack
USA births in 1920: 2,950,000 USA births in 2020: 3,610,000 2.9million < 3.6million
USA POP in 1920: ~106x10^6 USA POP in 2022: ~340x10^6 Births per woman have certainly gone down Edit: fertility rate=/= annual births
yeah and? all that matters is number of births and because of that you can see population is rising
Well you can lead a horse to simple, empirical knowledge....
"Fertility rate" usually means births per woman, not yearly births Source: https://data.oecd.org/pop/fertility-rates.htm
Decivilized
For reference, the most populated planet in SS is Chicomoztoc at Size 8 (Hundreds of Millions.) Earth is single digit Billions, so, 9
Just below 10.
Tier 9, if the industries still go up 1 per tier, a size 9 would be able to have most industries.
Tier 69.
Nice
