I recently started a game and just got helped after asking a question in this forum "My colony doesn't build anything", Guess you've heard that before...
But. As this is my first game I thought that Gas giants are as frequently found as rocks and thought that atmosphere wasn't such a big deal, I chose "Gas Giants with Methane".
I now found my first gas giant with methane, the first planet with a green dot. When I build my colony ther ( A large world with mild conditions" it's domed and can only have 4 facilites. Am I doomed to have domed colonies forever????

I bet you colonized "red dot" worlds, having compatible planet type but incompatible atmosphere ...
These ones only have domed colonies, and space is restricted accordingly, but you should still have from 1 (tiny planet) to 15 (huge) spaces for facilities. Else you have a strange bug 
Try to colonize "green dots" and large planets to have more room 
(I've read that having a gas race can help here, as gas planets are fewer but larger).
