is it normal, that ship with colony pod can create outpost?

now look here:

IMO a little too much digits

here:

moused-over system-name Supina (underlined and clickable where mouse is!) showing not even near the mouse pointer.

and by the way: items in production queue impossible to rearrange and remove

The colonize button and production queue ordering should be fixed in SVN.

Edit: Am I correct in assuming you're using Bigjoe5 versions of content files? If so, Bigjoe5, you should probably avoid using fractional increases to planet populations, and prefer instead whole number changes. The SVN version displays the projected max population with two digits, meaning "8.0" or "25" /Edit

The misplaced mouseover hotspot for link text is probably related to slightly different character widths in the font messing up the GiGi font layout code. Slightly enlarge your sitrep window and the problem should go away, but also do please post a bug report about it on sourceforge, if there isn't a similar one already.

The purpose of the increase of .1 to max population is to enable the creation of an outpost on an otherwise uninhabitable planet. This effect is not active unless the planet's max population is 0 (despite what the colonize button says), so there would be no additional unseen .1 if the max population was over 2 digits (and therefore couldn't show the .1).

Edit: In revision 3259, my colonize button doesn't show predicted max population - it only says "colonize". is this intended?

how about that?

Unfortunately, the internal code doesn't actually distinguish between colonies and outposts... It's just something I hacked together with the content files, although it does work fairly well.

So yes, it is normal for a colony ship to be able to build an outpost, because at this point, an outpost is just a colony with a max population of .1

Also, for the time being, if you put an outpost on a habitable planet, it will be considered a full fledged colony, though it will take much longer to reach max population.

The SVN stringtable changed, but you didn't merge the changes into your modified version.

Quite so. I'll have to be more careful about that in the future.
