"Development Level >>"? Figuring out what all these numbers do.

Wonder if certain colonized systems went back to unoccupied - for reasons
.Edit: Oh, and Frontier did not wipe the systems of other players braching out from those systems.
Someone make it make sense, why is the system I'm working on still a Colony when it has 2 agri bases and 3 agri installations? Is the rumor that these things need to be within a certain LY radius to the station true? (since my Orbis is still not selling anything on the commodity market apart from scrap and biowaste)
Current assumption is economy input works only on the same body and in orbit around the same body.
That's terrible, the only planetary landings I have are 400KLy away and my orbis, which I could not manully place because it was the primary station, is nowhere near them.
We need context, what does your system look like?
Show a map. Mine looks like this:
Built a Refinery hub on the moon. Am now waiting for this "Remove construction" button to remove the scientific surface port being built on the moon. Have one additional slot around the same body as the Orbis and will stop doing any further buildup until the situation with influencing economies will become clearer. Have 3 slots around the main star and will build a Coriolis there, and hopefully switch that one to High Tech with 2 hightech satellites.
Edit: We also do not know so far whether there are
- system wide economy influences
- different necessary economy influences for different colony types, which are
- Tier 1 Outposts (commercial, civilian, criminal)
- Tier 1 planetary ports (civilian)
- Tier 2 stations (Coriolis)
- Tier 3 stations (Orbis, Ocellus)
- Tier 3 starport
- any distance factor
- whether economy is fluid or fixed once defined
- whether the stats of the system (Standard of Living, Wealth, Development) play any role.

Edit3: As assumed, they have Coriolis + settlements + installations all around the same body (assumed by the same distance from the star)

Any BGS state changes? I haven't rebuilt my tables of economy effects yet but that would be the obvious cause for changes of that sort in non-colonised systems.
Probably. Wasnt tracking states in the system, though.
Any sources of Standard of living or development levels in those systems? It sure does start to seem like not giving a colonisation manual and leaving us to figure out stuff was cover for a super shallow system, which seems on par with the game design of the rest of the system.
My system's score was 3 last week, and I got 11,001 credits for it. This week it is 11, and I got 110,178 credits. Happiness is locked at zero.
All my factions report they are happy, so Happiness appears b0rked in these reports.
Mine too, even the Anarchy faction
My current assumption is that the linkage works like this, which is the lowest possible link level consistent with the Pilot's Handbook text:
So imho 4 different linked areas that influence only themselves with economy type.
This is how the system looks like:
It has 1 Agri Installation below the orbis, a 2nd one to the right below the other ELW, 3rd is 400Kly away alongside the other 2 agri bases.
Interestingly enough, that 1 Outpost at the far right is High Tech and that one by itself gave me the status of Colony / High Tech

FYI I had negative happiness:
This was from having a 90k pop Ocellus without anything built in the system for the whole week.
My 100k pop Orbis that finished a few days ago got 30k
With the information from last week I'd say it's probably counting the days active and the happiness on every day.

So, at least that -8% shows that Happiness translates to a direct modification of the payout... that -138k payout is -8% of 150k, which would've been your full payout otherwise.
