Optimizing jobs for unemploment. Or, how i stopped worrying and started to love the purge.

[Strangedane]

I had a dream.

Of an ethnically diverse empire, where the population, if given enough jobs, amenities and living space would be happy and constructive citizens working for the common good.

Just look at that perfection. It just lines up perfectly with my robots.
You could be forgiven for thinking i planned this out and carefully selected what pops to grow and my planets.
You could be forgiven for thinking that this sort of planning is to be rewarded with an efficient economy.

Fuck me sideways.
Time to start purging.

I feel stupid everytime I start to think HOW to fix work/pop allocation. It's so counterintuitive. And in my current play I'm egalitarian pacifist materialist.... dear god... how did I get in this mess

It even worked with 11 robots. When the 12'th finished they did this shit.

Being a slaver has never been so good. Overpopulation? Sell em!

I mean, I know WHY. If we are talking about simulating reality (which is what I believe the devs tried to achieve) I can understand all of this, but the tools given to us to cope with this are completely rudimentary and useless.

An egalitarian gov will pass incentives to make ppl take jobs they don't like.
Ppl will take jobs AND STAY IN JOBS they don't like and live with it.. being a little mad about it in the process.
High job positions will always be available, and low strata ppl will always be prevented from taking said jobs, no matter their qualifications.

I think this system can be improved, but it's by far not at all fine as it stands now.

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

On the first picture, my closed job slots line up perfectly with my number of robots.

When i open the job slots, my organic slaves fill the slots and the robots go unemployed, leaving 3 clerk jobs open that the robots cannot man.
Worst part is, they had the correct distribution before the 12th robot got finished.
