Beta 4 another Benevolent ideology problem

The Outlook III (Prolific) selection says "All new colonies start with 5 extra population".  Two turns after selecting this, I settled two planets (on the same turn, in case it's relevant) but don't see any additional population.

Thank you for the report, known issue at this time.

This is true... i play  benevolent heavily... the population bonus never occurs.  I always play the largest maps available.

I wonder if the extra population is being added to colony ships if thats the case it would only show up on planets you colonize with ships built after you got the trait

i noticed that this was how it worked for the pragmatic 2x constructor modules

It is never added even to the planets.  2.5 colony ships create 2.5 planets...

Wanted to report that for Beta 4 0.72.2.0 this bug still exists even if a new Colony Ship is created. My game, howwever, was started under 0.71, full disclosure.

This absence of the pop bonus for the benevolent trait has also happened to me, just as the OP reported (and this was with 72.2).

Yep, I should have ticketed it.  Will next time.
