Introduction
Planets are the heart of Space Empires V as they are the objects that an empire uses to expand itself. Planet Size only really come into play when an empire colonizes it. The size of the planet determines storage, population and construction limits. The atmosphere of the planet can further limit this. If the empire does not breathe the same atmosphere, then the colony becomes a domed colony. This is all managed within the PlanetSize.txt file.
File Description
Note: Normal Colonies use the fields that begin with the word Max, while Domed Colonies use the fields that begin with Domed. All Colonies use all of the other fields within this file.
