It used to be possible without modifications in the previous version but you had to reach larger sizes to get the same number of industries as you do in this one.

Sorry for replying to this at a much later date... But I have a question regarding the editing of the code.. If I set the maxColonySize to "10". How can I edit the amount of industries that the colony can possess???

Also what does this line of code mean? ( "overMaxIndustriesPenalty":5 # stability penalty )

Thank you in advance to the people who will still reply to this  ;D

In settings.json, looks for "maxIndustries":[1,1,1,2,3,4,4,4,4,4] and change it as you wish. The list corresponds to max industries at every colony size (1 for colony size 1-3, 2 for 4, 3 for 5, and 4 for 6-10 is how you should read that line).

If you exceed the maximum number of colonies on a colony you get a stability penalty equal to that number.

Do you mean exceed the maximum number of industries on a colony/planets?? Like I'm only allowed to build 5 industries on one colony/planet??

Yes. By default the maximum number of industries on a size 6 (or larger) planet is 4, but there's a way ingame to increase that by one. If you build a fifth industry and that method breaks, though, your colony is going to have problems...
