Today the AI improved a lot.

Yes I hope so too! I got the AI to use the planets much more intelligently by modifiying that planet-types file with assistance by HreDaak.
I'd like to make it even more intlligent though. How do I get that AI to settle on red planets if there aren't enough green ones? Or how do I get it to settle them earlier? Usually the AI will send colonizers to green planets first even when they are far away. Only after having settled on those will it settle on red ones as well.

Another problem I frequently have is that the AI produces not enough colony ships. At the moment I have a human player on AI control just to watch it play. Its colonies are being swarmed by enemy ships but they are defended alright. It simply won't build colony ships fast enough to keep ahead of the other players. Can I change that?
