In the level editor, if you make a planet with roughly earthlike parameters city lights will appear. On sandbox or under the stellar codex section of info-links the total population will appear. I managed to get a copy of earth a population of 9 billion. As long as it is less than 1.1 G and no higher than 300 k surface temp you will start to see city lights pop up. Orbit is also important though I don't know any specifics for it. One AU for Earth is ideal. I imagine it would be less for a planet around a red dwarf. As far as I know sidereal has minimal effect, same with atmosphere and eccentricity.
here is a link to the calculator I use to find the gravity (note that one G is 9.811 m/s).
Does anybody know of any other parameters that affect population?
