Yeah, it sounds like modding to have pops consume less housing/upkeep is a better choice than specializing them for output, because you can't guarantee without extensive hassle that they will end up in an appropriate job.

Yep, that's exactly what I've been doing now. That and faster growth.

Anyone ever had an endgame crisis just.. stop?

The pretoryn arrived, ate about half of one ofthe larger empires, settled a few planets and then just stopped moving. All of their fleets just stayed where they were, including workers and colonizers.. So I could mop them up one by one and it was really boring.

I've seen some similar complaints in the paradox forums, though not recently. Sounds like a bug.
