Why Domed colonies on green dots

BIG THANX; this really worried me, now I'm relieved.
Ofcourse there are 0 people on the planet. The newbie I am hadn't put any colonists on the ship!

THANX

I expect you will find 4,000 Million on your homeworld, and Zero on your colony. When there are zero people, it puts the domed symbol up.

You can get races that breathe other atmospheres by using Ship Capture against Colony Ships and Population Transports, or successfully invading their planets with Troops.

With other human players, you can arrange to trade loaded transports.

We should start refering people to Malfadors Q&A section. A lot of these "Can't colonize" question can be answered simply by reading the Malfador Q&A section. Malfador Q&A

You can also do that with an AI if you spot one with population in it. (This assumes you have long range scanners, or you are a good guesser.

) Just offer to trade something for the transport you want. The AI doesn't seem to assign any value to colonists in a transport.

Can I terraform an Irradiated planet?

This might have been a good time to start a new topic, but it's interesting to see this thread resurected.

Anyway, there is no Facility that will correct Irradiation (as in the special planet type from FQM), however you may be able to get a new and different planet type by using Stellar Manipulation components on ships in the same sector as this planet to destory it and recreate it.

If I recall correctly, Irradiated and SmallMachineWorld planets cannot be created by Stellar Manipulation.
