Time is now ticking. Each turn is 15 minutes.
Currently buildings and ships are not constructed. Only population growth and research are implemented. Working on production now. Will let you know when constructions and ships will be build.

Ok, thanks 
My population growth is 0, even though I think it is increasing but by less than 1. I have 25.3 M population, and that it consuming 3 food each turn.
Maybe it would be better to round the number up, because otherwise it may not be clear that its increasing. Also you are paying extra food for population you cant use, and as it takes population to grow food its sort of a problem.
I know it may be stored that way in the game, but when displaying it to the player you could say its growing <1 each turn (instead of 0), and for food just round down to nearest whole number?
I am assuming that 10 M population = 1 extra worker?

0 population growth is a bug, will investigate it.
You need food for population growth. Each extra food will generate income for your empire that accumulates in your treasure. Later you'll be able to use this money to speed up constructions. money are also used for maintenance. So having extra food production is a good thing.

Currently 1M population = 1 Specialist (farmer/worker/scientist). There is a bug showing right values. It should show 2.53M not 23.5M population.

Population amount bug was fixed.
Extra food/ Extra production is converted into money, but not with 1-1 ratio. Currently 4 food - 1 income and 2 production - 1 income.

Ok, I am making 8 food now and have 4 spare, and do have 1 income now. If you make 1 spare food, does this give 1 income every 4 turns, or is the extra lost if you dont have enough that turn?

It is lost as income. When you'll have other colonies that cannot produce enough food this extra food will be transported by freighters thus supplementing colony in needs.
