Following a recent update to Elite Dangerous, commanders have observed that their colonies no longer experience population growth, a shift from the steady increases seen before. One player highlighted that even after constructing a new Coriolis starport, the population remained static. This unexpected change has sparked community debate over whether it is an intentional game mechanic adjustment or an unintended bug. Population growth is a key factor in colony development and strategic planning, making this issue significant for players managing their settlements.
- Population growth halted despite new starport construction
- Community uncertain if change is intentional or a bug
