Colony Management Edit/Change Question

[Kushluk_Shimazu]

So I got the colony of Foulstone and I was looking at the tiers of structures you can have from I, to II, to III, and I noticed something very attractive, the Crusade improvement which gives a load of buffs to your guy.

Only issue for me is ... I do not have enough Efficiency on Foulstone to get it, it requires 3 Efficiency, and I only got 4 after exhausting all options to get it. I've looked at all my other colony projects and anything that could give + Efficiency to all colonies is not possible. So I locked myself out of all Efficiency possibilities to improve Efficiency on Foulstone to build the Tier II Bonfires of the Righteous, which then leads to the Tier III Crusade improvement.

In essence I fudged my build order, nothing bug wise happened to my knowledge.

Thus my question is; Is there no way to improve a colony's statistics outside of the colony management? I am not seeing a 'deconstruct' or 'edit' button either so it seems I am locked into the choices I've made. If so, I can go for the option to grab the Hammer through another Tier III option.

I've played some of KIngmaker and War of the Righteous, so I know Owlgames can be a bit unique in how how they do their settlements and colonies. Which I do not not mind, just found it a bit strange as a Rogue Trader we would not have the resources to deconstruct improvements and focus on a new path.

I'll look forward to the discussions down below, I hope you all are having a good day and thanks for your time.

You are locked to your choices. But I have gotten projects that will improve stats for all colonies. You won't see the tier 4/5 projects til early in Chapter 4.

By the time I finished chapter 2 I had close 7-10 in all colony stats for most colonies.

Since some projects lock out other projects or require projects in other colonies to be completed, you're really forced to carefully look at everything and plan ahead. Its better to wait for something you really want until you qualify than take another option that locks you out of what you want.

Keep in mind that every time a colony unlocks the next tier, you get a story thing where you need to make a choice. Some of those choices can affect your colony stats, give items, or give you or your team permanent talents.

The only thing you dont need to worry about is your choices on the first three tiers locking you out of the projects you cant see yet on Tier 4/5.

a) Colony story events could add (or remove) stats. You will have ~8 of them if I remember correctly.

b) Some buildings affect ALL your colonies.

c) Following main story - you will able to pick 2 companions on your coronation on Dargonus. They're providing buffs to all colonies (each have it's own buff).

I appreciate the responses guys, I'll be patient and hopefully get through the story :)

Sadly now I have to figure out how to get more Navigator Points >.>

a) Scan new system
b) Very-very rarely during quests
c) Rarely - an events during travelling around orange-red routes.

Yes, desire to raise all routes to green ones is a big fat trap :)

I cant tell if i did it right or not, my experience was that the projects were interlocked often built upon each other between the coloniues. I couldnt start a project I wanted because I just didnt have enough efficiency and I couldnt get more. So i ignored that colony and focused on the others. Suddenly I new project was unlocked somewhere else and whatdoyouknow it rewards : +3 Efficiency on All Colonies and boom now I could continue developing the first colony were I was basically softlocked so I stopped caring and suddenly like domino, everything fell into place
