Building Colonies

From OGame Wiki

[edit] If I build a new colony, are my resources pooled?

 No, you have to transport them from planet to planet. That’s why the closer the colony, the cheaper the shipping costs (and transport time). 

My first “farm” colony in oGame only has 47 fields. I put no defenses on the planet. All it does is produce resources which I ship to one of the other colonies. It it gets attacked, it won’t lose that much, since it doesn’t have much at any given time to lose. All of the fields are mines and power plants.

Eventually, I will delete that planet and colonize a new one, since you have a

[edit] Getting Larger Colonies

 After you get your planets and mines to the point where you can create colony ships easily (meaning the cost isn’t detrimental to you), then you can start attempting larger planets. The field cost is random, so you may have to try 5 or 6 times before you get a big planet.  Right now, I keep anything over 230. Trying for all 300’s is a waste of time and resources unless you really want it.

You cannot delete your home planet. Everyhome planet has 163 fields, regardless of what position it is in. So you can have everything over 300, except your home planet.
