Provinces and Colonies

[Blairmhor]

i´m having some difficulties with my systems and i need some feedback if my thoughts are correct or not.

1. the colour of the systems shows if it is a province or a colony, right?
(when and how would the colour change to my empire-colour...my new colonies all stay gray)

2. when i create a new province successfully (i can finish the creation and the province gets a name and is visible as bubbles), why does it not show up anymore after i hit next turn?
does it need some time to get created? or is this an unfinished feature or a bug?

3. is there a reason why the biosphere is (as standard) only used at 50% for civilians? is there any negative effect if this is raised?

thanks for any constructive feedback.

edit: some corrections and a second line to question 1

ok, 91 views and no comment, that makes me think about my post.

are these questions realy so good that noone has an answer to them or are they so stupid that nobody wants to answer them?

Well...

1. It seems that indeed, colony systems change to your empire's colour when they're part of a province. At least, that's what I gather from the fact that all the coloured systems are in a province at the start of the map.

2. I honestly don't know.

3. Biosphere seems to have replaced 'resources' (In SotS 1) as the thing that goes down when you increase population over 50%. Which (should) mean(s) that when you put it over 50% biosphere goes down and you will need to start paying for the world's life support again once it goes down enough (the way you need to when you've only just colonised, unless it's a very close fit to your race's requirements). Or at least that's my guess.

So yeah, basically people haven't responded yet because we don't know for sure and the above is mostly speculation.

1. Which color?? the one arround your system? Its always the one of your empire and has nothing to do with provinces.

2. Because u have to go to province mode? It does not need any time to create.

3. Yes there is. Overgrowding is the point. If its more than 50% than your biosphere suffers.

1. it is broken , it worked in the previous patch
2. same as 1
3. have no idea , but the poster above seems to give a rather logical answer , no idea if it actually works as anything else in the game

thanks everybody for the feedback.

at least i now know for 1. and 2. that i`m not stupid
for 3. the the info from Castus and Robrecht seems very logical to me too.
