wtf. i just started playin this game. im an astro empires nerd. i have my colony ship built, but cant find a planet empty 2 grow on. any1 know of an empty planet? ive been searchin all day and im pissed...

you cant colonize an existing planet. this is not astro empire. things are done a bit differently here.

Process of colonizing

1) get colony ship (all its dependecies)
2) find a suitable system that you want to colonize on.
3) find an empty slot that do not have any existing colony on it.
4) send your colony ship on colonize mission to those empty slots.

voila.

fyi planets has a cap for building. try to get a big planet. usually any planet that has +450 building slot is considered big enough. for big planet try slots 4/5/6/14. they get u comparatively larger planets.

lower slot planets are good for energy production by satellites. some say they are also good for metal production i am not so sure about that anymore now.

lastly good luck with the game and welcome to the game and community.

damn. i feel stupid now. i searched 4 hrs today and last night tryin 2 find an empty planet. i feel like an r tard.
thanx brother. i appreciate tha help.

Family, what do you want to know? The post you have referenced is very old. The last post before yours was in 2013.
