Note that the colony cost during generation is for the default (SM) race, NOT the race that you'll end up having. When you pick a homeworld and generate your race, the race's tolerances for gravity, temperature, oxygen etc. will be set to make the homeworld "perfect", i.e. the colony cost will automatically be zero, even if it was showing up as e.g. 1.6 before.As well as picking any oxygen-nitrogen world you could also just pick any terrestrial body you like the look of and create a colony for the SM Race using the Add Colony button. Then go into the Environment tab for that colony and set up whatever atmosphere you want. You can also create Methane-breathing races. When looking for planets, just treat methane as you would oxygen. You'll find the methane breathers will be best suited to cold worlds - very cold
Duh! Thanks, that makes sense now.
