Does the population on a given planet ever cap out, or does population just keep endlessly growing, creating a spiraling need for endless amounts of housing?
Thanks.

I don't think it ever caps, but if I remember correctly there is a point where the probability of new population being added is decreased. You'll have to wait for Cory or fallen to come around to confirm or deny that, though.

As far as I'm aware there's no actual cap, however there are some conditions that will cause population growth to significantly slow down. Such things as creating new colonies nearby, having less than 2 "free" spaces available in Hab Units, and I think there was one more but cannot recall at this time.

Hard Max Population = (Quality / 2) * 3
By building more Hab Unis than Hard Max, player can encourage further refugees to land.
Overpopulation above Hard Max does not occur.

Oh my! Let me get this straight, if a planet's quality is 10 then it's hard max is 15. If the player build exactly 15 hab units, (s)he will never have to worry about the planet hitting 16 population. However, if the player builds 16 hab units, the planet can increase to a maximum of 16 population?

Hard Max Population = (Quality / 2) * 3 By building more Hab Unis than Hard Max, player can encourage further refugees to land. Overpopulation above Hard Max does not occur. This is extremely useful information |
