The Fertility Rate at zero is the fertility rate of a settlement at its beginning. The fertility rate at double capacity should be lower the fertility rate at capacity and it should also be lower than 2 to prevent run away population growth. Reasonable values vary from 2 to 4. The following table translates MRM to equivalent life expectancy. The Solarpop model uses the same MRM across all settlements at all times.
Death rates vary according to age.
See the chart for more details. The name of a settlement. In the The Millennial Project the names Aquarius, Asgard, Avallon, Elysium, and Solaria are used for the oceans, space, moon, mars, and the asteroids. The simulation is most accurate in the first few hundred years. After 500 years or so the scenario is pretty much meaningless due to the wild uncertainties in parameters.
