        • As you can see in my quizzes, I mentioned two megastructures X-Seed 4000 and Ultima Tower. Two those, if completed, they will solve the problem of overpopulation but the cost of construction is extremely high so they have never been built in reality. Maybe in 22nd century, they will do it.
