Some planets are better than others, and some are worse. You can’t just colonize any planet that looks good on the surface, because there’s a good chance that it won’t be worth your while.
Your new colony could become a liability to your empire if it doesn’t take precautions to avoid becoming a liability.
What’s The Best Time to Colonize?
New colonies are always a good idea in Stellaris. They provide population, or “Pops”, which can improve the productivity of your empire through Jobs.
The answer to the question of when is as soon as you can.
Planets that are colonizable by humans are rare, and it takes a lot of effort and time to get one set up the way we want it. ..
Landing a colony ship on an unsuitable planet will have penalties in the early game. This is because landing on a planet with resources will give the colony ship an advantage in terms of production, while landing on a planet without resources will have penalties in terms of production.
In worst case scenarios, your new planet will use more resources than they could produce.
There are many factors to consider when deciding whether or not to colonize a planet, but one of the most important is its potential for success in hosting human populations. A planet that is rich in resources and has a healthy climate can be a great place to live, while a planet with high levels of pollution or an unstable climate can be less hospitable.
Habitability rating is a tool that can be used to measure the attractiveness of a city or town. It takes into account things like the number of residents who are able to walk to work, the number of residents who can bike to work, and the number of residents who can take public transportation.
What is Habitability?
In Stellaris, each species will have their preferred living conditions. There are 3 types of climates, and with each climate type, there are 3 more basic planet types. Each planet has a different environment that is best suited for a certain species. ..
Planet type: Planet: Earth Climate: temperate
In Stellaris, humans prefer the “Continental” planet type, which has a “Wet” climate. All Continental planets will have 80% habitability for Humans.
Since Continental planets have a “wet” climate, humans can still be productive on other wet planets, like the ocean and tropical planets. ..
Every other planet type will give Humanity a 60% Habitability rating.
The planets around stars have been known for centuries, and now we know about the indicators next to them. These are the planets that have been found to be habitable by humans.
Planet Blue: The planet is Habitable, but it is not very fertile. It has a moderate atmosphere and a temperate climate. Planet Green: The planet is Habitable, but it has a very fertile atmosphere and a warm climate. It has an average surface temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. Planet Orange: The planet is not Habitable, but it may have some potential for habitability if the right conditions are met. It has an extremely hot and dry climate with an atmosphere that is very thin.
When in doubt, colonize the planets that are green.
Why Planet Habitability Matters
If a species colonizes a planet they aren’t comfortable living on, they may find that the climate is too hot, the environment is too harsh, or the food is not available.
-A 1% decrease in the population’s growth rate -A 1% increase in the number of deaths -A 1% increase in the number of births that result in a stillborn baby ..
The increased amenity usage by 1% (+100% at 0% Habitability) and decreased job output by 0.5% (-50% at 0% Habitability) results in a decrease in population growth by 0.5%.
A planet that is less habitable is more upkeep-intensive, and produces less.
Planets with low Habitability can also trigger unique planetary events, which can either be good or bad. These events can change the course of a planet’s history, and sometimes even determine whether it becomes a successful or unsuccessful civilization. ..
How To Colonize a Planet
- You can colonize a planet by using a Colony Ship that you build in a Shipyard.
- You can colonize a planet by using a Colony Ship that is already on the planet. ..
The First Approach
Step 2: Choose your Shipyard’s Type. There are three types of shipyards in the game: Industrial, Military, and Commercial. Step 3: Choose your Shipyard’s Location. You can have your shipyard in your capital system or one of your colonies. Step 4: Choose Your Ship Type. There are six types of ships in the game: Frigates, Cruisers, Battleships, Carriers, Submarines, and Space Stations. Step 5: Choose Your Ship’s Specifications. You can choose the size of the ship, its armor type, its weapons type and number of guns, and its speed. ..
Left-click on the Colony Ship and wait for it to finish. ..
Your new Colony Ship has been created!
Step 4: Navigate to the planet you want to colonize and select it.
To colonize a planet, right-click on it and select “Colonize Planet.” ..
The Second Approach
Step 2: If you have built a Colony Ship, you can use the first approach. ..
Step 3: Choose your desired species. The species overview should pop up (screenshot below) Step 4: Choose your desired language. The language overview should pop up (screenshot below)
Step 4: Click on the Colonize button. The Colonize menu should pop up. Step 5: In the Colonize menu, select the “New York” button. The New York button should pop up. Step 6: Click on the New York button. The New York button should pop up.
Step 4: Choose your preferred species.
If you have more than one species in your empire that can colonize planets, you can select them in the Colonize menu. ..
A colony ship will automatically be built in the closest Shipyard to the target planet. ..
The Colony Ship will colonize your target world automatically, providing you with the resources and support you need to build a successful colony.
You cannot establish a colony on a planet that has an anomaly or a primitive species living on it.
