Default Re: Proportions 2.5.2 mini-patch feature preview

Yes, the main advantage of Advanced "Storage" Techniques is the extra cultural centers. The extra population and cargo space are also very helpful, though.

Adjusting the population effects around the usual starting population levels is a good idea. There are sixty entries in the Proportions mod population curve, so it is pretty smooth, but it would make sense to smooth out the parts near the starting homeworld population levels. I had rationalized it as an effect of mobilizing your homeworld population for colonial expansion, but perhaps the ~9% effect is too great.

The only problem is it's a nuisance to insert values in the sequence. Maybe I'll write a program to do it.

The insect idea is a nice one. My design for Foundations mod has a more developed insectoid tech tree with several groovy items, but I'm currently taking a break from working on major mods.
