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

Rare goods typically have a different text color than the other goods in the market listing.
Is this pretty standard for a military outpost (first station)? Seems to be more metal than I'd expect, maybe. There is a dredging installation on the moon below, and a Tier 1 (Euthenia) Mining Orbital, further out, but would there have been more mined materials with a different station?

Weird stuff down below. Just Microbial furnaces and scrap.
Yeppers, T1 Planetary Surface Port? I think they all get 3 items to sell.
Hopefully different ones to other settlements nearby? Is it mostly random?
Are you kidding? I am a "Colonization Architect". I am in charge of designing entire systems, containing thousands of citizens. I know what I am doing! Do you think I leave anything to random chance? What a ridiculous thought... suggesting its not all part of a master plan that I am building on behalf of the citizens of this system!
Yes, I think its mostly random.
Adding data on my test system. I built a large Industrial Settlement, and a Refinery Hub on an icy moon of a gas giant (2G), which also has a moon of its own. On that moon (2H) I built a Medium Mining Settlement and a large Agri Settlement. The Coriolis in orbit of the bigger/main moon (Moon 2G/Slot 0) is not producing anything at all. I am wondering if I should add a mining installation in Slot 1, right next to the Coriolis, to jump-start things? Mind you, I might already have a mining installation somewhere else. Building order: I first built the Industrial Settlement on the Main Moon, then the Coriolis in Slot 0 of that same moon, then the Refinery Hub (also main moon). System: Tucanae Sector SZ-O b6-5, Moon 2G.

What do the question marks, at the bottom beside the number of sites, indicate?
Probably that there's some uncertainity - the question mark goes away if you map all the planets with the detailed surface scanner and it gives an accurate readout of the slots.
A full FSS has always seemed sufficient for me to clear the ?s - maybe there's a planet (or a belt cluster?) not scanned somewhere?
industrial is predominant, and nothing else. so you need more extraction and/or another refinery hub if you want to force it in that direction.
Thanks! I'd like to go refinery but I don't have another available planetary spot on the two moons the Coriolis is orbiting. What can I do?
Wait and hope FDev finally decides that refineries don't have to be confined to planetary settlements only? Because surely by the 34th century they will have figured out how to refine ores in space?
Or pick a different economy for that body.
Thanks, lol. I don't really have a good grasp of colonization yet, so I am not sure what "pick a different economy for that body" means, nor how to do it but I am open. If only just to see something running after so much effort

The first post in this thread has good information about economies and making stations sell real goods instead of practically nothing.
I've heard that you have to raise the tech level in your system to 35. I don't know if anyone has confirmed that yet.
Tech Level in my System is at 46 but my Coriolis still got no UC. Shipyard sells up to Anaconda though and Vista is shown in Lounge (green - awaiting Station full activation, not greyed out)
edit: seems more to be a combination of Dev and Tec
Just finished an Orbis with an existing scientific outpost (Prometheus) as the only other construction within that moon’s sphere of influencers. Immediately upon completetion this was my market. According to my ED Discovery Journal app the station is 50% colony and 50% High Tech. Thought I borked it by building the outpost in slot 0 first but that didn’t seem to be a factor. Just wanted to drop a data point in to help get things figured out. System is HIP 67125….also should note my stats per the spreadsheet. Sec 9, Tech 51, Wealth 44, SoL 32, Dev 48
