Rats, I was hoping there was some undocumented way to do this that you had discovered...

Is it on purpose that I cannot upgrade a Colony(GAS/ICE/ROCK) to a minor city?

Re: Upgrading facilities

Although it involves micromanagement on the planetary scale, I rather do it by individual planet (typically starting with those farthest from the frontier and staggered during wartime (if I even do it at all at that point)).

I find that the global "upgrade facility" is more trouble than it's worth.

Does getting up at 5AM to play a couple rounds constitute addiction? Sounds of a 3-pack-a-day smoker and SEIV player: "I can kick this whenever I want!"

Yes. You can upgrade a settlement to a community, but then the next thing is to build a Minor City from scratch (actually, it's more efficient to first build a bunch of simple facilities quickly to take advantage of the unused space, and then [maybe a good construction yard and then] work on cities).

Originally they were going to be upgradable to cities, but currently there is a problem in the way upgrades work in SE4 that would mess this up (you could upgrade from a cheap settlement to a Megalopolis and end up essentially getting Megalopolis [or other city type] for half the cost).

Is that a suggestion that the Terrans should be categorized as genocidal?

Yes and No. If we could do it to ourselves, then most certainly we will do it to alliens. Since we are so far the only known sentient species in Universe, our bloodthirsty history is by default the galactic standard. Thus, given that human race is most certainly capable of aforementioned acts, it either does not classify us as genocidal race or genocidal behaviour is a trademark of advanced intellect. In either case, Proportion' *_AI_strategies.txt should be modified to include
