' Wrote:Nah the Zoner lore is fine. If logic was gonna be used seriously in Disco then I suggest just simply moving the date of the Zoner movement further back in history to correspond more with birth rates a little more realistic then litters of 12 kids in each home every month. As Unseelie showed a group of 30k humans would take 360 yrs to reach a population of 1 billion. But it was only brought up to Mao to show that there are many examples and we'd all be spending the next two years re writing everything to fix unrealistic details in Disco.
Thing is, that's directed growth in optimal conditions. As in, you've got some government using cultural manipulation to encourage large families, the infrastructure to support massive populations, safety, security, resources. The Zoners don't actually have any of them, so projected growth rates for planets don't really apply.
