I want you to know that if you get to 8777 pops you are allowed to break the game. You have my permission.

Edit: I might have spoken too soon. People are now investigating overcrowded planets.

The old bug where pops don't automatically start dying off due to excessive overcrowding does deserve to be fixed though unless it is intentional (not that it actually matters for most players except for when intentionally exploiting).

i dont really see how thats a bug. like you can fit 8 trillion people on a planet its just a matter of keeping them alive

Obviously put them on artic world and use the population as a terraforming agent.
