Hey guys, I realize the colonies are not just linear, but do we
know the dimensions of the grid we?re working on? Sort of like in
Swordy quest where you could see it goes from 1:1 to 1:5, then you
swipe right to the next row to, 2:1, so we can?t go by coordinates?
Has anyone contacted the developer about this issue and also the
other issue of not knowing which building is connected to which ,
that sounds like a real pain.

That's what's causing this problem.
When you place colony buildings, initially, there's nothing else
around them.
After you build a while, the grid wraps around (no clue how many
spaces across
each row is, it changes depending on what's going on), so there's
no way for
us to tell when something else is going to be placed adjacent to
another
building. This is my only major complaint with the game. The
other biggest
issue for me is there's no way to tell what warehouse things are
tied to
without disconnecting them and reconnecting them, which is a real
hassle when
you have double digit hydroponic farms, and are trying to get
food to a colony
that is feeding from a particular warehouse that just doesn't
have enough food
income. But, what's happening here is that colony buildings
don't like being
next to industrial type buildings. This means, if you have
anything other
than parks or hydroponics built in a square next to a colony
building, the
colony building suffers from reduced population. It's a real
shame we can't
tell where new buildings are going to go in reference to others,
but for now,
that's the problem we need to deal with.
Sorry for the trouble, but just keep building colony buildings,
hooking them
up to food sources, and eventually you'll get enough colonists to
complete
that level. Alternatively, if you have some of the boosts, you
can up your
population that way, click on the upgrade button when you're in
the colony
building, and if you have the right item, it will allow you to
upgrade the
amount of population the building will hold.

I don't know if you can start from scratch or not, but probably,
because
I have two phones, and each one has different levels, (one at 7,
the
other at 20), so just deleting the app and redownloading it will
probably do the trick.

Nah, doesn't work that way. Remember, each planet is a new
planet
being built from scratch. You'll of course have access to
hospitals
parks and things once they're unlocked, but each planet
starts from
bare earth. You're basically terra forming the planet, so
each time
you need to start from scratch.
As you advance, you'll find housing units hold more people by
default,
as do warehouses, but you still need the same 3 units of food
per
colonist no matter how many your housing units hold, so there's
always
need for lots of food, which sometimes is a challenge.
Sometimes I've
had to cheat, especially on the planets where there's a per
minute
income requirement.
Build multiple commercial buildings, and have them all set to 5
minutes, you'll need three of them to generate the whole 1500
per
minute most missions of that type require, but once that's
happening,
the mission goals are technically met, even though you've not
really
accomplished the real goal of that actual income. It's a
hack, and I
try hard not to use it, but sometimes, I just can't manage to
get to
the required population levels required for the proper amount of
income.
There's other times you'll need to have a warehouse hold one
product,
then switch it to holding another one, because of how the
planet is
designed. On those missions where you need x number of items
in the
trade port, and you don't have enough room to build extra
warehouses
that are close enough to the trade port. It can become quite the
balancing act, but it's all worth the rewards once you do
complete
one.

Tap that, and you're back on the planet.

You don't need a hydroponics plant for each
warehouse, but usually you'll need 2 or 3 per
warehouse.
Each one produces a certain amount, and you'll need to
check how much food is rolling into the warehouse,
then how
much is rolling out per minute. That's how you
maintain
your population.
If yours are yoyoing then it's because you're getting
enough food, so another one is showing up, then
they're
eating the available food, then it isn't here
anymore, so
one dies off. You'll need to balance food
production with
population. It gets easier (or harder depending on
your
point of view) as you complete some of the research
tasks,
since those can give you increased production or
storage on
various buildings. In the beginning though,
(especially
since you don't have a lot of completion
rewards) you'll need to have probably 3 hydroponics
per
housing unit, since typically one housing unit holds
between 50 and 100 population, depending on whether
it's
next to an industrial zone or not. Your population
needs 3
units of food for each unit of population, so
you'll need
150 units of food incoming to the living quarters
for a 50
population building, and obviously
300 incoming for a 100 population building.
That gets harder as you increase the size of the
residences, but you can increase the output of the
hydroponics too, so it all balances out.
You
should be doing research constantly until you have
researched everything you can. I don't know if it's
a bug,
or if there's a piece of the game I haven't found
yet, but
there's 11 items I still have to research, but they
don't
show up on my research list, so nothing to do about
those.
You'll also want to pick up your reward every day,
just
click on the prize, and it's transferred into your
inventory, and then you can use it on the planet
you're
currently on, or save it for another one, it's up
to you.
