Overpopulation

Population Death from overcrowding is 0.04% per % over 100% cap.

Thus a 200% capacity planet is 100% over and thus has (0.04 * 100 = 4%) a 4% death rate. This maxes out at 400% capacity at 12%

In addition to deaths:

• excess population on overcrowded planets cannot work factories or mines
• the first 200% overpopulation (300% capacity) only produce half their normal production(for a net population production of 200%).
• Population over 300% produce nothing.
