1. Load attached save from turn 85. 2. Pick exploration target and then hit "next turn" button. 3. On the next turn Sol / Earth produces a colony base. Select Mars as colonization target. Mars will start with 4 pops. I have Advanced Colonization tech, but it promises 2 starting pops in colony, not 4.
Hi @dmitryme Let me save the devs some time and answer this for you. Note that your colony leader (Morb) has requested the colonization of Mars. Fulfilling his request to do so, adds two extra population to the starting pops. In this case you have Advanced colonization (2 pop), plus the desire (2 pop) so your total starting number is 4. This is working as intended (and may lead you to formulate strategies as to when to colonize additional planets in the same system).
Oh, wow, I did not consider that leader's desire could cause it. Indeed it is reflected in the derire's description, I just never noticed it before. Thank you for clarifying that, @Konstantine.
