I couldn't possibly tell you where those people actually came from.

I think it's implied there is a considerable vagabond or transient population throughout the sector. Also including the unlucky sods who still live on the de-civilised worlds.

That would mean that only  about 2-4% of the total sector population is living in the colonies at the start of the game and that all the rest have moved into the size 10 colony if such exists...

I wonder how long it takes now for a size 10 planet now.

Back on the original point (kinda... not really) to be honest i really wish it was the gold mine it should be when you find a planet with an abandoned skyhook or space elevator orbiting it. Should increase the accessibility massively. And probably add a bonus to orbital works due to it being much cheaper to move resources up to the factory.
I'm hoping stations also wind up factoring into this.  Seeing orbital habitats/mining rigs/research stations as goodie huts is interesting at first, but it seems a shame that you can't repurposed them if you colonize there.

It takes about four or five in-game years for a planet with Free Port and other population bonuses (without cryorevival) to grow from size 7 to size 8.

They probably reach size 10 either through breeding or being aware that they are in a game and just clone more of themselves in existence as the game demands.
