I suppose not much can be done given how the program handles upgrades. It if boosted construction by giving a kickstart of half of the original structure's value, then having a long upgrade tree (including facilities to complexes upgrades) would be more feasable. I just feel bad about having to sacrifice the facility to build over it when upgrading allows it to still be productive during the construction.

Anyway, I would like to suggest some way of making transportation of slightly larger portions of colonists easier to obtain. A medium freightor cannot transport 2M worth of colonists.

Well you usually don't "have" to scrap the settlement for a long long time - you can just add a city to it. It's usually worth keeping around since it has greater total abilities than most regular facilities.

As for freighters, you haven't researched far enough. You can get 2M on a med. transport if you research cargo and/or starliner modules high enough. Of course, you can also just build more ships.
