Independent Colonies and Planet Preferences

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

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.

That is because you don't have enough Haak population
