There is a good catch here. In Proportions, the presence of a nice "green" planet near to homeworld may not mean much. To make it a thriving productive colony, you must invest a lot of materials (in the way of starliners maintenance), ship a lot of otherwise productive population, build a strong infrastructure and only hundred turns later rip the benefits of your hard labour ! In other words, you may be better off if you only have one good planet nearby then two Sometimes proportions is a very complicated game !
