I've been playing in a game where there are edited ships and planets but only 100k colonists on Terra. After talking to the sysop, he agreed to let me go in and try to change it to a higher number. I find that getting in and changing it is not a problem, however when I get back into the game the number on Terra has not increased. Am I missing something here? Gold is turned on, I go to letter I and make the change on the right side but then that change just doesn't happen. Other changes I've made in the game are immediate and I've been wondering if the game needs to be rebanged for the colonist number to change.

To change the amount of colos on terra, you need to change the amount of ore on planet 1. The number of ore = the number of colos. If terra is a stock M, you'll need to change the planet type to get it over 100k. Also, you'll need to change max terra colonists (Editor I option 1) to as high as you want it. Also, once you make the changes in editor I, you'll have to exit tedit and re-enter to actually be able to adjust the colos up that high. I hope this helps

Thanks. That it does. I knew I was missing something and you supplied it.

Ok, i got a good amount of critters on terra now, now the only question is, is there any way to increase the max amount generated by terra? I can't get past 65,500/day.

Nice....looks like you have reached the limit for colo regen from what I have seen on several servers. If I'm wrong then someone will suggest more ways other than 'artificially' refilling colos by editing them in when they run out! [^]

65500/day is the most "natural" regen you can get. If you want more than that, you'll have to edit them in when they run out.

Ok, guess I had high hopes. Will just go with what the max is and let that be that. Thanks to all who replied to set me straight.
