Independent Colonies and Planet Preferences

[undercovergeek]

I just want to make sure I’m doing something right or the UI doesn’t like me -

I have colonised a haakonish independent colony in my system with humans - realising the planet is not friendly to humans I’ve now taken them all back off again and the planet is purely haakonish

When I go to new colony possibilities I’m only getting a settlement percentage for humans not haakonish - now I know they like swampy jungle planets and I found one and despite only seeing the human percentage figure for it I decided to settle it for the haakonish - the only problem is I’ve built a colony ship actually at the haakonish colony but it won’t load them - if I automate it it flies off to load up humans - if I manually control it it won’t let me pick up the little green fellas

I settled the planet with humans and am now shipping haakonish there by passenger ship after fiddling the immigration policies around - is this the right way of doing things?

Is there a reason the haakonish don’t want to leave their colony?

And advice gratefully received

The population of haakonish is low maybe ....GP

300m I think

I don't know where the magic boarder is for being able to colonize other planets, but it certainly is more than 300m people. I would guess you need about 500m to a billion people before you can use that race to colonize other planets. You just need to be patient.

Pretty sure it's 500m.

Excellent - thanks chaps

That is because you don't have enough Haak population
