I used to main Goon2. I have played many, many lowpop shifts on Atlas.
I think the cutoff point is fine where it is - 20 players, or even 15 players as is suggested in the thread, would be way too little. Atlas is small - but it's a complete station with engineering, science, medbay, botany, ranch, bar, kitchen, etc. Trust me - any *less* than 25 players and it feels completely dead.
30pop limit results in sometimes 40pop Atlas rounds which, while chaotic, are quite fun. I feel like with the population decline of 1, at least, the small size of Atlas gives a chance for the old-school concentrated chaos of when Goon1 had a much higher population - everyone is crammed together, and a lot is happening, but in a fun way.
