SJ, thanks for the population weight param... If I make 1 pop weigh more than 20 kt noone will get there but will I still have a colony ? And could I populate here thereafter by sending transport ships (ie if it weights say 100 kT will a transport with 100 kT in 5 cargo comps load 1 pop or none - is the load calculated per component or globally ?)
Only other question left is what mean the "Min pop per facility" param ??
Cargo is global. Only the total space vs total size of stuff you're putting in matters.
Your colony ships will plant an empty colony dome, and you can ship people over later, but the AIs might have a bit of trouble with that situation.
The minimum population per KT was disabled back in the SE4 Non-Gold Beta testing days. It has no effect now. (Why thy just didn't set it to zero, and leave it moddable, I don't know)
