So... we're leaving earth.
That people are willingly abandoning our Utopia suggests that it needs more work. We should redouble our efforts on improving the situation here on Earth, rather than chasing the terraformation of another world that people will just want to leave.
I see it as exporting humans from Utopia, since
we never leave earth, and migrants make their own way across the galaxy sans ships or spaceports. I presume the Belmacosans are sending ships to pick our dudes up
THE GREAT WARIn a world where injustice is delivered at the end of a sword, find out next week how the Belmacosans realize recovery is harder than the battle, but friendship worth more than victory.The great war was incredibly destructive. The Belmacosans could do little to delay the inevitable. While they possessed roughly equal numbers of planets, the Belmacosans were spread thinly in some systems. With a smaller industrial base than the Adnori, they could not sustain casualties gained in fleet combat actions. The result would be eventual capitulation, with the great Belmacosan Divine Concordat losing the vast majority of its planets - including Belmacosa Prime, their homeworld and former capital. The Belmacosans would be left with a small but productive Leafy world in the Kazoo system, while their capital would be relocated to the Goffia system - in fair Verano, where the newly-arrived human migrants would unexpectedly find themselves taking part in the great Belmacosan Renaissance.
THE GREAT ESCAPEThe evacuation of the heartlands was as swift as could be done. Belmacosans fled from the lands that had once nurtured their ancestors from stalks to plantoids, their one consolation being that they could flee, for the Adnori had been merciful enough to allow such escape. Nevertheless whilst this great escape continued, the Belmacosans resisted, fighting guerilla wars, engaging in civil disobedience - though no planet successfully seceded, the drain on Adnori resources, unity and technology was noticeable.
Some worlds, sparsely populated with but a handful of Belmacosans, would leave their newfound lands behind. In their wake would be a band of machines and robots, programmed to continue harvesting resources from the worlds left behind, left uninhabited by a single living soul. The Adnori could not live in the lands they had conquered, being ill-suited for the tropics, yet the machines could very well prepare it for their habitation one day. Until then they remained quiet but for the moving of machines: Ghost worlds.
THE GREAT JOLLY COOPERATION"Verano symbolizes, I think, the funny nature of the divine. Thrust from calamity into bonds of familial unity, Humans and Belmacosans find themselves building a new world on what was once considered a backwater - a world, so like continental Earth and unlike tropical Belmacosa, yet so like plantoid Belmacosa and unlike mammalian Earth, populated by aggressive and intelligent plant life... Meaning no offence, to Belmacosans, we both find ourselves in worlds like our own, yet so unlike our own, the cosmic mean with which to build a unified state out of unified peoples in such a short span of time. And we will, I think, achieve this together." - Governor Olive Petal
REPRODUCE LIKE DOCUMENTED ON THE DISCOVERY ARCHIVES2303:04:22: The United Nations begins research into nutrient replication, estimated to complete such a project in 9-10 years. Being at the forefront of research can be tough sometimes, but with single-minded focus, society research grants and a refocusing of many labs to the production of foods & fertility stimulants, mankind begins exporting mankind.
2304:08:16: Rapid breeders.
Mankind diverges in evolution. The humankind species that had ventured forth into Belmacosa resemble standard humans, so too do the new humans. The only difference is the new humans are considerably more frisky & fertile. This behaviour, coupled with their newfound movements across the galaxy, grant humanity a reputation deemed unseemly by more restrained Empires.
This followed a drive by the UN to vastly increase the production of humans to aid our Belmacosan allies to rapidly populate their backwater planets, turning them from underdeveloped agrarian swamplands into thriving dens of forestry and city.
Mankind's reproductive abilities would certainly be put to the test. The way the game's mechanics work, food production bonuses to population growth stop being so dramatic once you've got your first colony. However, if you have only one planet and instead export your pops to another Empire - you can drastically drive up pop growth. With 100% habitability reducing the cost of pop growth, with agrarian Governors, Presidents, technology, edicts and happiness I managed to get the population growth bonus from food to reach above
150%, without factoring in the +15% pop growth from rapid breeding or +10% from genome sequencing, and I'm gunning for the +10% from the expansion traditions. Coupled with humanity's nomadic trait, this makes Earth into the #1 exporter of humans anywhere in the galaxy at any time!
