Now that the first weekly tick has happened and after developing my system further :
My goals were to make a local spot where one could easily buy mined and refined goods.
Starting in the system in which I built a coriolis, I placed and built (completed before tick) :
1 ground mining settlement
3 mining installations (space)
1 government installation (space)
2 refineries (ground)
All of those are on the moons around the gas giant.
But when I went to my station today, the economy was still "Colony", which let's be honest, is the worst kind of economy, ever.
It is also what comes by default when making a system, as such to my knowledge no matter what is built first, it will have a colony economy first.
And the second very important point is that refineries are not stations, not even odyssey type settlements. They cannot sell you stuff directly.
Are there any clear informations on how to get the economy of a space or planetside port to change and adapt to the system ?
Are there some steps I may have missed and will my coriolis station be forever useless ?
TLDR : Stations with Colony economy are undesirable yet the default, and retain their colony economy even after some buildings are made and a week passed.
