So far, colonizing doesn't seem to be possible, me?
Well, I'm running V0.4 SVN 4635 MSVC 2010, on Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate.
I'm playing as human, single player, no opponents (0 players).
Within my own system (Bragi), I have a "swamp planet". Looks colonizable, however, there's no other data on it. I also have a colony fleet in my own system.
No matter what I select (ship &/or fleet), can't colonize! All I get in the 3 listed planets in my system (Bragi 1/2/3), is "select colony ship to colonize". Now how do I go about doing that? I'm in my own system! No go on getting the planet to have a "colonize button". Any way to select an individual planet? Or is it actually not colonizable?
Thanks in advance. BTW, there's no "pop-up" or "fly-out" window that I've seen herein the forums.
Regards,
bodycode

Re: So far, colonizing doesn't seem to be possible, me?
What species did you start with? If humans, I believe they are unable to colonize Swamp planets at the start of the game. Try exploring other systems to locate a Desert, Terran, or Ocean planet to colonize, move the colony ship there, and select it to make the Colonize button appear. If some other species, look them up in the Pedia and see which planet types they are Good or Adequate on, and try to colonize one of those.
I don't know what you're referring to in this.BTW, there's no "pop-up" or "fly-out" window that I've seen herein the forums.

Solved. Patience, patience is what I needed! Ran into a planet that is colonizable. I assumed that since a planet says "select a colony ship...." it means it's colonizable. Thanks for such an incredibly quick reply.

Re: So far, colonizing doesn't seem to be possible, me?
Medio, is there a tech that allows hostile planets to be colonized or a hidden turn counter? It works later in the game, but i never noticed which tech enabled it. Is it the growth ones that increase population maybe?
Re: So far, colonizing doesn't seem to be possible, me?
The Xenological Hybridization tech (which follows Xenological Genetics) allows the colonization of hostile planets (by increasing the max population to at least 1; incidentally, you can't colonize a planet with a colony ship that has a colonization capacity greater than the max population of the planet - the population will starve instantly)Medio, is there a tech that allows hostile planets to be colonized or a hidden turn counter?

What version are you using? I'm almost certain that that's not true (anymore?).unjashfan wrote:The Xenological Hybridization tech (which follows Xenological Genetics) allows the colonization of hostile planets (by increasing the max population to at least 1; incidentally, you can't colonize a planet with a colony ship that has a colonization capacity greater than the max population of the planet - the population will starve instantly)Medio, is there a tech that allows hostile planets to be colonized or a hidden turn counter?

Warning: Antarans in dimensional portal are closer than they appear.

Thanks unjashfan for clarifying. I noticed the starvation too, but i made the mistake of choosing asteroids and gas giants, gotta be careful with that
Re: So far, colonizing doesn't seem to be possible, me?
I had the same problem too (only tried it for 2 hours or so), but I chose Trith, and I know I can colonise Radiation planets, but can't colonise anything else. I read in a wiki that there's a habitability wheel or some sort.. but I can't find more info about that.. anyone with a link for me? I just wanted to find out what planets are for me or which aren't (btw.. all the planets I've can colonise.. are all tiny or small -.- and the large planets are all uncolonisable so far... kinda dampens the spirit a bit :p)

Also if you research "Environmental Encapsulation" it unlocks "Outpost Ships" which can colonize anything with minimal population.
