A colony is a player-owned location outside of the inner 8 systems. Players can purchase a deed for the right to construct a colony on the surface of a planet or moon. Since there is no existing land mass (outside of the inner 8 systems) that has oxygen in the atmosphere, the only method for colonization is to build domes in a colony on the surface of a planet or moon. A deed can support thousands of domes. | A colony is a player-owned location outside of the inner 8 systems.

TESTING FOR Planet Evaluation for Colonization
The primary focus for many players is to develop a colony which is suitable to their needs. Due to the randomness of planet types, finding suitable locations for colonization can be challenging. This page will give you basic information to efficiently find suitable locations for colonization.
What is a colony?
A colony is a player-owned location outside of the inner 8 systems. Players can purchase a deed for the right to construct a colony on the surface of a planet or moon. Since there is no existing land mass (outside of the inner 8 systems) that has oxygen in the atmosphere, the only method for colonization is to build domes in a colony on the surface of a planet or moon. A deed can support thousands of domes.
The pictures below show a circular deed of the same colony. Each black dot on the surface of the planet is a dome. Domes can be placed anywhere in the deed in any formation.
Gathering resources is the primary reason for building colonies. Using the show mb.samplemapoverlay command of a probed planet, resource distribution is represented as colored rectangles. The picture below is the same colony as the pictures above.

Planet Shape
Picture of hard jagged surfaces. Picture of planet with lots of liquid.
Atmosphere
Colonies need gasses for domes. The best distribution of gasses is an atmosphere has the elements Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), and Hydrogen (H) available in some form since combined elements can be split into their primary components.
For example: << PUT IN CHART? >> CH4 can be split into Carbon gas and Hydrogen gas. NO3 can be split into Nitrogen gas and Oxygen gas. CH4 can be split into Carbon gas and Hydrogen gas. H2O
Pressure - Too high and it will take longer to empty a dome of bad gas.
Soil
Geo 5. Concentrations.
Silicon concentration determines the yield for all other resources. The higher the silicon content, the lower the yield.
Asteroid Belts Gas Planets
Colony
One colony can hold thousands of domes.
