It never even occurred to me that I could go negative population and live there. This is new ground for me. Any advice or suggestions?
Looking at it and crunching numbers....when I do decide to move into chapter 10 I can teleport out my remaining population and run the whole chapter 10 guest race without getting rid of a single manufactory. Guest race buildings dont require population. I think I might run low on coins but I have plenty of coin rains and I can visit the whole neighborhood daily. Mana production will be taken care of by all the evolving buildings I am putting out. Ideas?
Yeah, neg pop is a tactic you can use. I follow this pattern: First 1/2 of guest race I configure things as if I didn't have guest race...thus it's everything possible but guest race buildings. I upgrade everything and save coin and supply instants, and do all the researches that don't take guest race goods...usually just under 1/2 of the researches. Once everything is up to date, and I'm about 1/2 way through the research tree, I switch to "neg pop" mode and for the last 1/2 of research try to live off my "savings" of coin instants.
That's how I do it and it works for me, anyway.
