i have played in games where the syn op has put collonist on terra when it ran out. i'm trying to figure out how they did this so i can. thanks for your help.

In tedit edit planet number 1 and change the amount of ore on the planet on terra ore = colos

obviously, if you want more than 100k (stock earth, which is what terra is) you are gonna have to use a dif planet.
you can make a planet, then not activate it and still use it for terra
then do as speed said.

I agree with Slim, if you want a Terra that holds more than the stock one then you have to make a custom planet that holds what you want,and max it out, and let the players have at it, also you have to go into T-Edit and hit N and type in 1 and change Terra to the planet you need in the planet class edit.

thanks you guys are a great help. it's rough being a newbie with twgs. likw all things it does have a learning curve.
