attrition

[REPTIMALIEN]

I recently move some population from a 4,6 planet and unloaded them onto a 5,5 planet, 5 population units died during the unloading process.
Is this attrition or is there some other calamity not mentioned like stampedes.

It is attrition, how many POPs did you drop?

[REPTIMALIEN]

25 so a 20% attrition but 5,5 is in my range,merchetti merchants this is my 11th turn entry. First time playing.

I only move 10 POP at a time. I think when you do that it limits losses. Going from 4,6 to 5,5 should not be that great of a loss. Maybe Thom can weigh in on this...

Thank you, I was just under the impression that I either would not suffer attrition in this case or the losses would be minimal
For example 1 or 2 percent send.

[Tregonsee]

They should have been. I think the problem was when you sent 25. I have sent 10 at a time and have lost none.
