One problem encountered by new players is the concept of manually creating a colony before unloading something on a planet. Therefore, in v5.0 the following orders will automatically create a colony at the destination.
Unload Fuel Refinery
Unload Construction Factory
Unload Mine
Unload Infrastructure
Unload Automated Mine
Unload Tracking Station
Unload <Mineral Name>
Unload All Minerals
Unload Ground Unit from Transport Bay
Unload All Ground Units from Transport Bay
Unload All Installations
Drop Off Team
Unload Research Lab Components
Unload Maintenance Facility
Unload Mass Driver
Unload PDC Component
Unload Terraforming Installation Components
Combat Drop Ground Unit
Unload Ordnance Factory
Unload Fighter Factory

Danke!

Not just new players.
Thank you!

Cool!
A useful shortcut also for more experienced players.
And just more refined design in general. :D

Quick question? Will tasking four different groups of ships (i.e. colonists/infrastructure/garrison battalions/survey team) to the same planet create four different colonies on that planet or will T.G.'s 2,3,and 4 check to see if a colony already exists prior to creating a new one. I guess my question really is, when does the colony get created? When the orders are given or when the task is completed?

From experience with the current automated creation, once you issue an order that requires a colony, it creates the colony. Any subsequent orders will show the colony there (with 0.0m pop).
