Couple of questions by me, but confused

Hi,

I am just wondering a couple of things, busy setting up a let's play so just trying to learn the game, I've made 20 pages of notes so far! Sure this list will grow but first two are

1) If I make somewhere a colony by mistake how do I unmake it one?
2) Is there a way in the minerals window to just look for a certain mineral rather than all?
3) Repeat orders, so I am shipping Auto miners to an asteroid and a mass driver, I want it to make say 25 trips so repeat order 25 times, however I just seem to be able to repeat order once at a time.  Which I clicked 25 times and it crashed my game losing an about an hour of progress which sucks.
4) Is there a way to centre on an object from the minerals display on the main screen rather than go into the survey window?
5) My game seems to have created only 1 jump point, I'm doing conventional start , will I find more as I research or will more appear or am I stuck with 1?

1 - Economy window, select that colony, click abandon colony at the bottom
2 - You can specify which minerals you're looking for
3 - Tick the box "repeat" and it'll do until you run out of auto-mines
4 - Not to my knowledge, there isn't
5 - In Game Creation window you can set the number of JPs in Sol but after that it's random. It is possible to be "boxed in" but you can then use SM mode to manually create a new system and JP to it.

The "Repeat Orders" copies all orders once, so it has the effect of doubling it each time clicked( So you had 2^25 = 33 Millon times your orders). You can either use the checkbox "Cycle Moves" that Garfunkel mentioned or use "Repeat Orders" x-times and "Remove Last" until you're content. The ability to repeat a certain times known from VB Aurora is not in C# (yet), as far as I know.

2 - You can specify which minerals you're looking for

How do I do this? I know you can on VB but I couldn't see a way on c# that looked obvious, was no drop downs or anything

You can edit the minimum amount of the mineral you search for. Setting a 1 there will only show sites with that mineral.

Thank you.  I will have a look in the morning 😊
