biggest colonizeable planet with bonusses

    got the Class(10%) and alliance(5%) bonus. along with a 55.45% kaelesh enhancement. (playing on a server with +30 fields)


    I have tried 150-200 times now, and the biggest planets i have found on position 8 is only 379(found twice so far)


    I know Fields =( planet diameter/1000)^2, and that the colonization bonus is applied to the planet diameter.

    position 8 have a max of 252 field, translating to a planet diameter of sqrt(252)*1000 = 15874.5, applying a 20.5% total bonus to the diameter should result in a new max size of about 19128.

    (19128/1000)^2= 365 fields +30 universe bonus for 395


    Is there a hidden limit in the code or am i just unlucky so far, seeing nothing closer than 16 from the theoretical?

    And in my hubris ofcourse i have now beaten my previous record, and found a 388 fields planet

    In 20 years you gonna run out of slots and gonna have to start building Terraformers.

    Mate 388 fields is pretty good for start up planet

    didnt keep it, i am willing to keep anything with a diameter above 19000, which is 391+ fields.


    unfortunately there was a merger of many universes into the one i play one, so only about 30 position 8 slots are open every 2nd day. gotten about 300-400 attempts so far.


    is the formula for determining the planet diameter when colonizing known?

    because there is a 200 km diameter gap between the max and what i have seen so far, and with a spread of ~4080 km diameter between the smallest possible and the biggest possible diameter, So i dont think the chance is even for every possible size. but from previous mass colonizing 200 attempts was enough to get the max possible size of a position 3.


    Does anyone here have experience in getting a max field position 8 planet and how many attempts it took them

    Hi Rafiki,

    thanks for your work about this matter, it interests me a lot!

    I would like to congratulate you on finding such a large planet.

    And I would like to understand something....

    where does the 55,45% bonus comes from exactly?



    Quote from Rafiki

    applying a 20.5% total bonus to the diameter

    what are the mathematical calculations to obtain that 20,5% bonus?




    me too am interested in finding out the biggest colonizeable planet with bonusses

    thank you very much for your help

    16 planets with kaelesh enhancement lvl 15, humans so metropolis bonus. total is from OGame Tracker

    10% of that is ~5.5%

    additively is the lowest possible outcome, so therefore likely how Ogame does it,

    10% from class, 5% from Alliance and additional 5.5% from Kaelesh enhancement for a total of 20.5%


    Pos 8 is the biggest possible planet at base 252 fields. The 20.5% applies to diameter. and the formula is fields = (diameter/1000)^2

    So max is diameter=(Squareroot of 252 )times 1000 = 15874


    15874 times 1.205 = 19128


    (19128/1000)^2=365 fields is base max. then you can add universe bonusses. I am playing on a server with +30 fields

    16 planets with kaelesh enhancement lvl 15

    I have a doubt:


    Kaelesh enchancement lvl 15 = 3%

    is it correct?

    in case it is correct we have:

    16 planets * 3% kaelesh enhancement (lvl15) = 48% ?

    could you explain it to me? please


    I apologize if I said something absurd,

    thank you

    because you are forgetting, i also got kaelesh lifeforms at lvl 77 and am doing humans on all 16 planets for the metropolis building tech bonus.

    for a~15-16% further increase to those 48% from just kaelesh enhancement

    Quote from C Wolff

    Look on discord. It's possible to get a 500 field planet.

    Colonizeable aka what you can get foundationally, i am not counting terraformers, field boosts and kaelesh bio modier.

    But link or picture that discord, you are welcome to prove me wrong


    Just pure what can you colonize, with the bonusses from alliance, class and kaelesh enhancement

    Hi Rafiki, sorry it's me again,

    can you check if my next calculations are correct, please?


    if we assume a brand new player in the following situation:

    class bonus (+10%)

    alliance bonus (+5%)

    kaelesh lifeform level 0

    kaelesh enhancement level 0

    universe bonus +30


    the mathematical calculations to find the biggest colonizeable planet in position 8 should be:

    diameter boosted = diameter base + class bonus + alliance bonus = 15874.5 x 1.15 = 18255.675

    fields boosted = (diameter boosted / 1000 )2 = (18255 / 1000)2 = 333


    in universe +30 -----> 333 + 30 = 363


    Is it correct to say that, in this case, the biggest colonizeable planet is 363 fields?

    thank you for your help

    yep that should be correct.


    the only trouble is that everyone wants a position 8, i think gameforge should probably go in and adjust so position 7 and 9 had the same max size possible, since they made the biggest so rare that you need 500 tries just to have a chance of getting 1 really good planet.


    or perhaps a rolling chance or maybe ability to send multiple colony ships in a single mission and get the biggest one

    People take slot 8 for metal boost not for more fields though :D. Tbh i doubt anyone has over 330 fields built except few top eco players..unless they are building garbage buildings just for levels, like solar plant, shipyard, alliance depo... so they should just adjust the same buff for 7-8-9 too. I wouldn't say you need 500 tries though. I've got 350-361 within 50-80 colonisations.

    turns out, it really was hubris


    ... somehow after more than 1000 attempts later, after that size 388 in december, the second biggest i have found is only size 384.


    the formula may say maximum size is 396, instead in practice, some 10 sizes lower.

    Alright. Seeing that I took this thread a bit as a challenge after getting that extra Astrophysics level item. I might as well post my results in the matter.



    The first 4 planets depicted were immediately removed. All set outside of a standards distribution of the last 1%

    the 5th one depicted here was a bit of a iffy one and kept it for a few hours. Yes, it set just past of that 19K mark but still felt statistically easy.

    The last one was definitely a keeper. Well past that 19K mark, >400 fields (even though with a +30 fields uni stat) And a statistic 1 in 500 hit with the data pool I got out of this.


    All in all it took 132 attempts with a 22.55% in planet size bonus at the time.
