I get that you can maximize the values on the logistic curve by relocating pops and putting your planets in a sort of cumulative maximum growth state, but I am struggling to do that as egalitarian without forced relocations.
I am playing for the first time since the pop nerf, so I am still getting used to the new systems. From what i can tell, the move is to try to maximize the logistic curve and rush assembly under basically any strategy. However as egalitarian, pop distribution feels really difficult to control, let alone optimize.
Immigration under the new system feels kind of clunky and itself difficult to control as well. For instance, I have a newer world that has open jobs, housing, sufficient amenities, and immigration pressure buffs, and yet I have people emigrating from there to go to places I don't need them with fewer relative housing, jobs, and amenities, and already way more pops. Even getting the flow going in the right direction with as many factors as possible bringing them where I want them, it still feels extremely slow. And so that stacks with the already abysmally slow pop growth, resulting in now just slow growth but a slow (or stagnant) rate of increase of the slow rate of growth.
Also, just throwing this out there, removing the growth minimum should have been a slider.
