where are my pops emigrating to?

[Empire of Terra Nova]

apparently paying them social wellfare is not enough, they still decide to emigrate and hereby cripple my pop growth

fine, whatever makes them happy

where are they going to though? before getting ringworlds i keep all of them on just one planet

If not to your other planets, than to anyone you have a migration pact with.

problem solved

though i do wonder why a shortage of jobs leads to emigration no matter the fact that there is plenty of housing, amenities and gibs available

they just have to be a bit patient until i construct, repair or conquer ringworlds...

It doesn't necessarily lead to emigration, but jobs are a big factor.

You can see your emigration push and immigration pull if you hover over the migration icon/number in the planet UI. While emigration push is higher than immigration pull, pops will move away from the planet and vise versa.

Your pops are not going anywhere. Emigration and immigration are just growth modifiers.

There is autoresettlement between owned planets but this is entirely different game mechanics.
