EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 8 PLANETS.

6.6 since I have a large house. Other than that factor, there would need to be many fewer Earths in that calculation. Of course my answer is just to have fewer people. Seems easier than having more Earths.

9.9 planets, oh I love the irony

couldn't the added productivity outweigh the transport costs?

I put in every ecological option possible for someone my age and gender. I got 4 acres needed, 4.5 acres per person, yet still 1.0 planets required. I assume it is programmed to round up to 1.
