Hi everyone,

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, but I've looked everywhere I can think of and I've not been able to find it. What is the minimum population level of a species you need to be able to colonize a planet?

In my human empire I have a small population of 288M Ackdarian all on the same planet, I have a 40% quality Deep Ocean Moon I would like them to colonize but the option to colonize ocean planets (or the "suitable for Ackdarian" drop-down) has not appeared on the New Colonies screen. How many Ackdarian do I need for the ocean worlds to appear in the New Colonies screen?

500m iirc.

I thought it was 200M, but you're right it's 500M on a single planet. I had multiple planets with Ackdarian in the end and the options only appeared once the population reached 500M on one planet.

Thanks for the help KarayaMan
