Unrest on colonies

[dersavage (OP)]

I haven't played Aurora 4x for few years and not I started new. I run into new problem in every game.

Civilian ships will move so many colonist and Protection Required will sky rocket. Example in Alpha Centauri Protection need is 26 650 / 813. No matter how many ships or troops I move there I can't lower it. Alpha Centauri have spaceport and I am terraforming it too. It can support 67 012m people and have 70 428m, but I think infrastructure is not the problem.

How to lower unrest? I can't build enough ships to fulfil my colonies protection.

Maybe your population is much larger than the support that planet can house. This produce the unrest. And a lot of deaths.
I think you should move some colonist elsewhere.
You can also stop the civilians bring there new people.
In the Economics window, Civilian/Flags tab, at the top of the window, you can decide if the planet is a source or a destination of colonists, or if it is a stable population.

Buy, really have you 70 billion people on the planet??!!
How many people have you started the game?

Not sure is it 70 bilj. It seems Unrest isn't anymore, I moved more infra there, but every time I do this, population increases too. I am terraforming it to be more stable and added civilian flag NOT to bring more colonist.

What is your decimal separator?
Is 1 thousand plus 1/2 1,000.5 or 1 000,5 ?

if the latter, Aurora won't like it. _AT ALL_

Looking at the screenshot, I'd say it's definitely a decimal separator issue. The one hard and fast rule about this game is that it must be played with settings that result in this meaning from this number:

1,001.01 = One thousand one decimal zero one

[dersavage (OP)]

It must be that decimal separator issue / regional keyboard settings. Thanks for help, I try to change that in windows.

Be aware that changing decimal settings in Windows doesn't restore a game already started. Even more, also the DB could be corrupted.
It's better you create a new directory, with a fresh version of the game, and begin a new match.

Agreed with paolot - delete the game and reinstall.
