Well, a huge growth bonus have some important drawback: - important growth means planet filled faxtly. which lead to drop in morale - at some stage, the gowth bonus isn't important since there is a cap of 200Million colonist added per palent and per turn - a planet with 100% morale will get a double growth.

Reply to +10% morale vs economy vs production in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well, it isn't exactly that way: + 10% morale means that you may able to raise taxes. but you won't get 10% more in BC. And the production is driven by 1 important things: the spending rate. If you are at 100% spending rate, you production can't increase. You will need to buy some improvements. And a greater income means that you will be able to have a better spending rate without going into debt.
