Ok, let's look at the last version's behavior. Prior to the update I'm about to release, the maximum capacity of Terran colonists is, because of this bug, the LEAST of the two capacities, Ore Capacity and Max Terra Capacity. So if you ignore Max Terra Capacity and set Ore Capacity to 1,000,000 and leave Max Terra Capacity at default 100,000, then the actual capacity ends up being 100,000.


Right, so this doesn't involve the actual max colo levels of the terra type planet then? I was under the impression you were going with the planet type's actual max colo levels instead.

In the first case, which I believe is the more common, if I fix this bug, it won't effect anything.


So you're just using the "max terra capacity" option in the tedit then? Ok, that should be fine.

Oh, ok, I see the confusion. Yeah, I'm not talking about Ore Colonist capacity of Earth Type planets at all.

In the area where planets are managed, for whatever reason, Terra uses the Ore Inventory field to store colonists, and all other fields, including Ore Colonists, are ignored. When I wrote my version, I put automatic bounds on fields, and the Max Ore Capacity value is used to cap the Ore Inventory field. The bug is that this cap is still applied to planet 1, Terra, when the Configuration setting Max Terra Colonists should instead be used to bound that field. In fact, both are used.

Sounds like we're clear to get that fixed, then. If it would make the transition more smooth, though, there's no reason I can't set Max Terra Colonists to the Max Ore Capacity of the Terra planet type if it happens to be less than Max Terra Colonists.
