As this question often appears, it might perhaps go to the FAQ? Here is
a reformulation that might be suitable:

-------------------------
FAQ: Warning about 'good atomic total energies' in lstart (NRAD, R0,
NPT, NPT00)

Sometimes lstart reports the following warning in case.outputst:

"WARNING !!!! For good atomic total energies you should probably change
the radial mesh (reduce NRAD or increase R0), or increase PARAMETERS NPT
and NPT00
         971  RADIAL MESH POINTS REACH UP TO   4.99424846391386"

If your only goal is to generate a starting density for an scf run
(which is what lstart/dstart are normally used for), then you can
completely ignore this warning.
