1- I use a web tool.
2- Look for a portal to the planet from famous hubs (TNT/GTG/Etc).
3- If I don’t find a portal quickly, using the same web tool I check which planet my destination planet orbits. I head to it, use a warp augment on the destination planet, and just warp there for a 100.
OTHER - since the colors i love are still locked, im checking every single appearing new sov, hoping there, checking colors, saving locations with best possible farm spots if there is color i dont have, mainly tangles, thorns, mud, asg, sponge, growth, etc, than farming few SS, asking friends if they want particular color, farming more just in case, removing loc from list, saving paper with world name just in case and going for next sov also checking every linked sov in soov walls or tnt gleam hubs for possible color changes
if i want particulat color im asking friends if it is unlocked at sov and asking for color change if its locked - just jumping on every new sov hoping for it being unlocked
please - if you looking for particular color ask here at forum - either someone know where it is, or someone got in in their storage - we trying to help every time
this community is really AWESOME
once the color is unlocked it is available to all Sov’s. https://boundlessinfo.com/colours/world-control?colourMode=true
Once you pick your color on this page it shows all resources in that color. Then click on the resource you want if available in that color and it will show which planets are supposed to have that color. Accuracy depends on when the last time it changed and was scanned. It will also show you which Homeworld it orbits so you can go find it if it is not in a major hub.
