This seems like a pretty major problem (and probably the source of bad nucleus suggestions as well) that when calculating the suggestion numbers the energy prediction is a lot higher than in auto-evo prediction:

I think the ultimate cause might be that the suggestion tries to emulate an energy gain calculation but it does it by proxy through population numbers, so a size increase that doesn't result in massive population drop might give a false sense of being better due to higher individual cost increasing individualCost * population while it actually decreases population.
