 '''UPDATE:'''  Peasant Pumping doesn't work so well anymore, but you can still give your colony a big head start by building the colony Blueprint over and over again on the same base.  Just make sure you build them one at a time.  Choosing the option to build 50 at once will only waste your peasants and rations.

 Use it to see how many bases you can lay - thanks to the Pants for that one!
-'''UPDATE:'''  Base slots are now also limited per account.  To calculate the total number of base slots on an account, calculate the base slots for each alt using the above formula.  Then, perform the following calculation using each alt's base slots:  (alt #1 / 1) + (alt #2 / 2) + (alt #3 / 3) + (alt #4 / 4) + (alt #5 / 5) = account base slots available.  Take as an example an account with 3 alts, each having 36 base slots (Station Management 16 and Station Research 2).  To determine the account base slots you would calculate (36/1) + (36/2) + (36/3) = 36 + 18 + 12 = 66.  The 66 account base slots can be distributed over the 3 alts in any way the player likes, as long as none of the alts exceeds his own base slot limit of 36.  Since Ambrosia bases take 6 slots, alt #1 could have 6 Ambrosia bases (36 slots used), and alt #2 could have 5 ambrosia bases (30 slots used), but that would use all 66 account slots and leave no account slots available for alt #3.  Account slots are used on a first come, first served basis among your alts.  When you attempt to lay a base, the game simply checks to make sure you have enough account base slots AND enough base slots for that individual alt.  If there are insufficient slots in either category,  you won't be allowed to deploy the base.

 Once you have built a colony, you will have a colony tab that you can check. The prices are what the colony will generally buy commods for. The larger the colony, the higher the prices they will pay, and the more of a commodity they will buy. Thus, population means credits!
 Important!: these prices can fluctuate, and are a lot easier to "crash" than AI stations.

 Practically (and we'll discuss level protection later), NO base under [[Adonis]] has a decent survival rate, at least on its own versus AI. Even in low level DF systems, without Adonis gear, your base is vulnerable.
 Players, on the other hand, are a much nastier lot, and require a lot more thought. You can find a discussion on this at the end of the guide.
