Quick Colonize speeds up sending a colonization mission to a free position without going through the full Fleet form. It is still a normal colonization mission using a Colony Ship.
What exactly does this feature do?
After the action is clicked, Inter-War prepares the target and mission for the selected coordinates. It does not create a planet instantly—the fleet must arrive and colonization is settled by the standard mission logic.
How does it work in practice?
The server validates Colony Ship availability, a fleet slot, fuel, free coordinates and the planet limit. Colony capacity is protected at dispatch and settlement so parallel actions cannot exceed the allowed number of planets.
What does the server validate?
Quick Colonize is useful while browsing good positions in Galaxy. Before launch, compare the position profile—fields, temperature and its effect on energy/deuterium—because the shortcut does not replace the strategic choice.
When is it useful?
The shortcut does not bypass the rules of the normal mission. Inter-War still checks account state, available units, slots, target, costs and the limits of the active universe. If the situation changed after the button was rendered, the quick action can be rejected instead of executing stale instructions.
What should you watch out for?
Treat the feature as a faster way to submit a valid mission, not as a separate system with weaker rules. For important operations, always verify the target and parameters before clicking.
