I've just randomly checked the ethics makeup of my empire with 3689 pops, while the game was running - and saw something that worries me a bit:
The total numbers of pops in each ethic change daily, jumping by 5-20 pops out of ca. 930 for the most common ethic.
A full 1% DAILY variation in the totals for ethics points to actual extremly widespread ethic switching, with pops switching back and forth all the time. The overall numbers are relatively constant, however, it's just the daily variation which is odd.
I know that earlier ethics shifts did not happen often enough, but this? This is absolutely silly.
It might be an error in the display on the overview, because looking at a particular pop on the planet screen doesn't show such rapid changes.
For the record, I only have cosmetic mods (species portraits and tiny outliner), which should not affect this.
Has anyone else experienced variations like this?
