Population status
Part of the Population guide
A population status is the tier a system's stability puts it in.
| Status | Stability | Output penalty |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | > 0 | — |
| Discontentment | -10 < … ≤ 0 | -10 % |
| Protests | -20 < … ≤ -10 | -25 % |
| Localized revolts | -30 < … ≤ -20 | -50 % |
| Widespread rebellion | ≤ -30 | -80 % |

- Every status below Normal reduces the system's outputs by its penalty. See System penalties for which outputs.
- Stability of exactly 0 is already Discontentment.
- Tooltips show this penalty as Insufficient stability.
- You get a notification when population, a finished or removed building, or a Destabilize pushes your system out of Normal.
