Colonization Issues

from GalCiv3 Forums

I've noticed that others have had some issues with colonization and related events. The issue I ran into during my first playthrough was an inability to colonize a particular planet. The planet was habitable and a bread basket, but I couldn't colonize it from any direction. I also tried multiple ships. Perhaps this is a tech issue, i.e. I need some form of planetary adaptation in order to colonize...

Also, I've seen some interesting suggestions, such as allowing players to position the initial colony on planets.

Curious to see if others are having similar issues, and to hear other feedback paricularly about colonization.

I had another single planet that couldn't be colonized in my second game. I haven't seen any other posts that mention this, though, so I'm not sure if this is widespread or if I just got (un)lucky the two times I've played.

This time, the planet was listed as "habitable" (no other designations) and was class 4 or 5 (last time it was class 11). Also, the Drengin arrived at the planet and parked a colony ship there until I destroyed them.

I had a similar problem where my transports couldn't invade a planet.

I just reloaded my autosave and everything worked fine afterwards

Good to know. I'll try that if I encounter the problem again. Thanks!

I had that issue with one planet as well. One of the planets attributes was 'Shrouded' so I thought you might need a tech to colonize a 'shrouded' planet. Then the Drengins colonized it.

I culture-flipped it a few turns later.
