damn, jeg har ikke en scanner desværre, så jeg skriver efter manualen nu.
There are inventions that will allow the player to colonize certain types of planets. the colonization ship can be improved with new technologies as they become available.
More advanced technologies can be use to colinize better planets, of course.
For example, with advanced colonization (colonization2), humans can colonize rocky, volcanic, artic, desert, plains, swamp, and forest, and ocean planets.
The colonization procedure is quite simple: if you target a "deserted" planet with a colonization ship (cursor change acordingly), the ship will travel there an establish a new colony with 30 million colonists.
