I was wondering how we would control the population of a sentient AI race would we just build them with minerals and energy or would they reproduce like other POPS.
Can Sentient AI Reproduce

I suspect they require energy and minerals to build a new pop, then energy upkeep.

You see, when a manbot and fembot have high system compatibility with each other, they are programmed to join circuits and exchange sparks and data ...

I would think that it is entirely reasonable for sentient, free, robotic pops to decide to grow by constructing more of themselves if they were free to arrive at the decision that this was a good idea.
The barrier to this is working out what encourages robots to decide to grow? Energy surplus?

Yeah but if you go down that route the robots could just keep having babies that robotkind can't energy-credits afford, and just expect their upkeep to be paid from the organics' central government even as they become a net-negative drain on their society, preventing those energy profits from building a strategic reserve or getting spent on other, more impor- [ANALOGY TERMINATED DUE TO THOUGHTCRIME]

Wait, you mean there's a possibility that if I give them full citizenship I could have sentient A.I. pops who I have to pay energy upkeep on building more of themselves?

...I could see that happening, actually. Give players a real incentive not to give A.I. pops full citizenship (because it could scramble the economy) and then watch the sparks fly.
Of course if that's not possible I won't be too disappointed, because memories of "37th Persian Jacobin Uprising" are - they're really only fond memories in a very twisted way.

Wanted to make a pun in bad taste with ALT+F4... but I did't lurked enough to know the openess of the minds in these forums.
I'm pretty sure there's an abortion related joke to be made here, but I can't think what it is.
Well I can't think of any tasteful ones anyway. do tasteful abortion jokes even exist?

We're pretty open minded here. The most someone would do is call you a heretic and demand your purge.Wanted to make a pun in bad taste with ALT+F4... but I did't lurked enough to know the openess of the minds in these forums.
So go ahead.
i think that for a robot race reproduction is just useless, they are immortals talking about conscience, if the body die they can just uload their memories in another body.
The player has to build them as well, so I would guess, that an independent AI will do the same, specially since they are supposed to easily out produce normal empires.
