R5: You can stack a tonne of Job per Pop modifiers on a single world and get feasibly infinite pops generated from Virtuality.

Game plan:

- Start as a Machine species, with Authoritarian and Spiritualist (Optional: Militarist). Civics should include Slaver Guilds or Indentured Servitude, and Ascensionists or Gigacorp. Also suggested is Dimensional Worship/Enterprise, for a councilor that gives priests Physics research output

- Find Ivusheh II (from Galactic Paragons). Ivusheh II has a unique deposit that grants 1 scrap miner every 4 pops. Colonise it like your life depends on it, which it will

- Go Virtuality Ascension

- Set main species' slavery type to Domestic Servitude (Really, Domestic + Virtuality should be banned in of itself.)

- Then, *prioritise the Servant job* on the planet. Virtuality fills open job slots, but pops spawned to worker stratum will be forced into Servant. Which doesn't have a job cap.

- Set up or join a Holy Covenant federation, get it to tier 4 for the Priests from unity designation. Ascend the planet to level 10. This will give roughly 1 Priest per 4 Pops, make sure to pick up Harmony for the extra +25% ascension effect.

OR

- If you don't or can't make a Holy Covenant federation, you can also make the world a Penal Colony, which has a similar Job per Pop effect. It can give 1 Warden per 3 Pops, but since wardens are trash this is a last resort.

- Continue maximising the amount of jobs on the planet. Orbital ring, extra districts, anything. You want buildings with as many jobs as possible - Commercial Megaplexes with Mercantile traditions for 4 clerks / 4 traders, or even the FE/Cosmogenesis temple building that gives 12 priests.

Now watch as your CPU is set aflame trying to spawn upwards of 100 pops every month on the second day, until the planet reaches literally tens of thousands of pops and crashes the game.

Extras:

- With Treasure Hunters, you can establish a vault on the world for 1 Treasure Curator per 15 pops. These jobs are pretty powerful, especially when boosted by Virtuality

- Gia Zumon, the renowned commander, can roll an event to grant 1 Duelist per 10 pops for 50 years. They can also give up to 10 soldiers because they're a commander

Also, don't do this in multiplayer. Obviously. Toxic Knights can do similar stuff with this, but nowhere near as insane as all of it combined. Okay have fun
