Has anyone tried tweaking the pop growth down a little ?

[Tisifoni12]

Playing a game as slow breeder reptiles and I'm still being pushed to create city zones, jobs, etc.

High stocks of like everything so no point is selling surplus A to gain resource B.

And I've not exploited any mining nodes worth less than 3, except of course for the rare stuff.

So, anyone tried tweaking the baseline pop growth down; advantages, disadvantages, unexpected consequences ?

In my last game (inward perfection + agrarian idyll) I don't think I had a single world maxed out on pop by 2440. Why would I want slower population growth?

I actually am having a good time with doubling the pop growth and then massively upping the emigration from lack of jobs and massively nerfing pop growth from lack of housing.

The op are try harder.

Interestingly, there is no modifier. You can scale tech costs but not pop growth. Seems like an oversight, honestly. I think its a worthwhile suggestion.
