What's a good strategy for handling populations out of control?
The scenario I was faced with was:
(a) I have Cloning Vats Secret Project
(b) The map (Huge Map of Planet) is more or less full. Only at most 10 spaces unless I head for open ocean, which does not have any shelves for terraforming.
(c) Drone Riots every turn. I fix each one every turn, and have gone so far as to put 10%-20% energy into Psych globally (which I've never done before until tonight's game) but they still keep popping up. I think it's because some bases were so huge and had such huge production capabilities that even 10% was good to keep out the Drones, but others were still suffering, meaning wasted energy.![Angry](https://apolyton.net/core/images/smilies/angry.gif)
I'm thinking I can let the population in each base hit the maximum population limit and just ignore the maximum population messages.
