Colonization should work.


7 colonies

There isnt a way to combine all food, industry, pollution, etc is there?

I guess i beat K


Nope, I just didnt realise it was instant, thought I had to wait till next turn. I have 3 colonies, and 4 soon.

Oh, so dont the col ships get used up? I still have all mine...maybe untill next turn?

Whats the point to having more colonies though.

They seem to exist independently of each other.

Yeah, they are meant to I think, like each has a queue and own population etc...I like it that way, can make them all different...

But why do I still have col ships? I used them all...but I cant use them now, they just are not deleted

I think you need freighters to transfer things between planets...not sure though...

When fleet maintenance will come in you'll need more colonies to sustain a big fleet.
Almost everything you are producing is shared between colonies:
- food, when you'll have freighters you'll be able to share extra food on a colony with other on another.
- production, this is only separately for colony
- income, gos to empire treasure. don't forget that extra food and extra production is converted int income
- research, all research points are gathered and used for science

If your colony ships are not taken after colonization then it is a bug, but will take care about it tomorrow.

Freighters dont work yet, have 0 space so cant be built...

I only want 12 and up, on planets average or higher...so thats why I cant find many. Colonised 3 so far, and have 2 more col ships.

My population has grown 0.1 each turn, so is quite slow. But not too bad. I am guessing smaller or worse planets then it may be too slow to notice for a while...or rounding errors may stop it growing...maybe...

Oh, and I will try biodomes soon, I know they increase population, but havent sone it yet

Actualy, am only going for huge planets. I can bioform later...

Anyway, getting biospheres now. Small in queue now

A small biodome on my homeworld went from 16 to 18.

Oh and also, take 8s and up, dont forget terraforming and biodomes will improve the number of people and possibly resources.
