Different facilities influence the population in a system.<ref name=":1" /> The baseline population scales significantly by [[station]] type, orbital facilities and local planetary body multipliers. These are estimates, because there are no official stats:
* <mark>[[Outpost|Outposts]] have around 10 to 5,000+ people</mark>
* <mark>[[Coriolis]] has a mid-tier population 10,000 to 10s of millions</mark>
* [[Orbis]] has tens of millions to over a billion people near [[Earth-like World|Earth-like Worlds]] and [[Water World|Water Worlds]].
Placing a station near rich bodies like Water Worlds (30x multiplier) or Earth-Like Worlds (40x multiplier).
