Hello commanders,
One of the most common questions reaching our support desk is this: "Where do I colonise to get the biggest planets?" Let's take the guesswork out of it. Here is the full picture.
A colony's field count is decided by the position you settle. Every position has its own range, and the actual value is drawn randomly from that range. Once the planet is created, the field count is locked in.
The hot inner ring: positions 1 to 3
Position 1 · 144 - 258 fields · 220 to 260 °C
Position 2 · 156 - 264 fields · 170 to 210 °C
Position 3 · 168 - 273 fields · 120 to 160 °C
Small and scorching. Your best planets for solar satellites.
The warm ring: positions 4 to 6
Position 4 · 177 - 312 fields · 70 to 110 °C
Position 5 · 200 - 348 fields · 60 to 100 °C
Position 6 · 219 - 363 fields · 50 to 90 °C
Sizes climb quickly here. A solid choice when the middle slots are taken.
★ The sweet spot: positions 7 to 9
★ Position 7 · 228 - 372 fields · 40 to 80 °C
★ Position 8 · 234 - 378 fields · 30 to 70 °C
★ Position 9 · 225 - 369 fields · 20 to 60 °C
These three give the largest planets in the game, and position 8 is the peak.
The cool ring: positions 10 to 12
Position 10 · 213 - 348 fields · 10 to 50 °C
Position 11 · 204 - 315 fields · 0 to 40 °C
Position 12 · 188 - 279 fields · -10 to 30 °C
Still roomy, and deuterium output starts to pick up.
The frozen outer ring: positions 13 to 15
Position 13 · 171 - 258 fields · -50 to -10 °C
Position 14 · 150 - 252 fields · -90 to -50 °C
Position 15 · 135 - 246 fields · -130 to -90 °C
Small, but by far your best deuterium worlds.
The temperatures shown are the maximum temperature range. The minimum temperature is always 40 degrees below the maximum.
The whole table at a glance
• The Discoverer class adds +10% fields to every new colony you found.
• The Researchers alliance class adds a further +5% on top.
Both are calculated at the moment the planet is created and they do not apply retroactively. With both active, the upper limit on position 8 goes from 378 to 436 fields.
If you are aiming for the largest possible account, pick your class before you found your first colonies.
Size is not the whole story
Temperature affects production directly:
• Deuterium output rises as the planet gets colder. Positions 13, 14 and 15 may be small, but they are by far your best deuterium worlds.
• Solar satellites work the other way around and produce far more energy on hot planets, which is where the early positions shine.
A balanced setup is to found most of your colonies between positions 7 and 9, and reserve one or two cold positions for deuterium.
One note
Planet size tables you find elsewhere online are based on classic OGame servers and show smaller numbers. Planets on OGameXL are 50% larger. The figures above are the real values for our server.
Good luck out there.
