Currently Colonia is a bit weak in therms of modules and surrounding Stations.
Is it possible to push the system development by filling their demands?
Like sending trading caranvans out bringing all their demanded wares etc.
Sadly the background simulation (BGS) isn't advanced enough for something like that.
Systems and stations have to be updated manually by the developers and this is "often" done after having a successful community goal (CG).
In a recent stream from the developers it was mentioned that there will be more CGs and events in Colonia - maybe those will include something to increase the system development in Colonia.
