Default Zero Population Growth - Fact or Fiction?

Does anybody know a way to have a race with Zero Population growth?

My thought is to have a race with just a population of 1 on the homeworld. at zero growth there should be no way to colonize! Great for that super-advanced relic race.

lower your happyness, environmental resistance, and reproduction as far as they will go. if that does not do it, nothing will, short of modding the game.

if you are going to mod the game, you might as well just take away their access to colonization technology (by putting a prerequisite on it, and giving everyone else the racial technology that grants colonization) like in p&n.

Lowering happiness that much will make them riot.

You can do it, I have. Lower the reproduction all the way and lower enviromental tolerence the same. The *might* be able to reproduce if they are jublient and on a good planet though.

Even 0 reproduction races can colonize; they just can't replace lost population.

I played a full tech 5000 racial point game.
I set reproduction down as far as it would go so I could spend the points elsewhere.
Without the organic tech facilities, I would have had no pop growth. I could still colonize.
