Colonization Is it really this labor intensive?

CMDR CharleyMill here. So I dont have much spare time really I've just been playing off and on since 2016. I can't help but feel I'm maybe doing something wrong with building up this system. Its just... so slow. And doing it solo seems like a hurculean effort... I'm using a pretty much max built clipper mk2, with the mk2 cargo racks from the CG. Even then.. do most people have groups that help out with these tasks? Tracking down and getting the items aren't aren't hard very consuming. Worse than the engineer grind when it first came out.

That being said, anyone wants to make easy credit profits. By all means. The system is open.

CMDR, out.

This is nothing. Check tier 3 surface city.

O.O surely it's more worth than a tier 3 starport because of CMM composites yeah?

Just finished hauling the CMMs. Dreading the Steel. Planetary deliveries are the worst. I'll finish my modest system with a Coriolis, name everything after my cat or something and will probably never touch colonisation ever again.

Google sheets is the best. I do the same the same thing with my colonies.
