Maximum number of colonies

[Crinlorite]

In the game menu I can see a sliding bar to set the max number of colonies, what's that for?

Thanks.

Its the maximum number of simultaneous colonies that you can play at the same time per save.

Oh that's great, I thought that managing several colonies couldn't be done, but this news are great, thanks!

It couldn't before. That's new in A16.

There isn't really an actual max that I have seen, but each storyteller has certain thresholds they like.

Cassandra is 4 min, 13 max and 18 critical
Phoebe is also 4 min, 13 max and 18 critical
Randy is special because his critical is 50 but he follows the other two in their min and max.

Another thing to note is there are mods that increase the max and critical.

Also, just keep in mind, secondary colonies are processed by your computer the entire time they exist, so having more than two might be taxing for many PCs. And furthermore, you are only shown the Alerts that are happening in your current colony, not the others, so you'd have to switch between them qite a lot so as to not miss that 3k power Raid.
