New player struggling

Ah, I found it...
"Display select colony type dialog when colonizing planet."

Thanks. Much better now!

"display confirmation dialog when ending turn" -off, saves a lot of clicks, too.

Hi all,

Doing better now, one more question though.

When you are picking up or dropping off cargo, it always drops off or picks up EVERYTHING.

How can I select the amount??

End your orders at the transfer location. Then you can use the transfer button to shuffle units as you please. Once satisfied, you can proceed with more orders. In simultanous mode games, this will require you to lose a partial turn's movement (unless your ships ends the turn there exactly at turn end) in order to do the transfer manually.

That sounds like a great explanation, only I didn't understand any of it!

"End your orders at the transfer location"

This sounds crucial but I am sorry it means nothing to me?

Actually WHAT transfer button, I am using a load and drop cargo button? is that my problem??

The button that PvK is talking about, it displays an arrow up AND an arrow down, it is located somewhere near the "up only" and "down only" Versions at the left side of the control panel.
