But in regards to your question you cannot build cities with that will
earn with projected growth. 49,999 colonists will not work any cities
even with the expected growth, 50k will work 1 city. 149,999 colonists
will work 1 citiy. 150k will work 2...

The number of cities work for the number of colonists when it comes to
the cities to do their work. So have in mind the following events in
the host order:


pod launching
beam transfers from an to ships and pod landing, bombing from space
bases merge (due to beam and pod events but not by GBA and ground
chunnel events)
agrovators make food
ground combat
training center
farms make food

cities use food and make money (so the colonists at this time count and
it is 100 * Round(Col/100000;0) mc what they produce if happiness is
better than 30 IIRC)

med labs use food
redistribution center use food
colonists eat
colonist grow
military personnel rebreeding back one stage each

So you can't use the growth the same turn and training colonists to
crew will lower the output the same turn. But all increments by direkt
beam orders and pod landing can be used the same turn.

See WIKI and Klingonkommand for more details.

But also remember that you don't get money from a city on the turn you
build it. This is because Cities produce money prior to new cities
being built.

So if you have enough colonists for it to go above 50,000 during the
next process, then build a city this turn, so at the start of the next
process you will have the city ready to go.

Umm... I've always got the city income the turn it is built.

Oh... and I believe the "100 turn stockpile" of Food (if that is
turned on) should actually be "101 turn stockpile", as the Food is
eaten before the stockpile is checked for growth purposes.

Not completely correct. For the first city you need 100k! From there on
it is at least 50,001 more for the next.

I think I've always got the MC from a single city with just >50K.

I believe the formula is similar to Max Cities =
Round(Colonists/100000), which rounds the value to the nearest whole
number (rounds up for >50k).

IMHO the order is

building new structures
structures do their jobs

In an actual game as UEA it would be pretty a difference as I always
plan up to the last produced mc and I would have noticed it.
