You can access the planet view by right-clicking a planet in the overview or any other list ans select "View planetary industry". You can get a list of avaible planets from opening the "Solar System: Information"by clicking on the systems name in the top left corner and select the "Orbital Bodies" tab. Each planet has their own information page accessed by the familiar[[File:Info button.png|frameless]]-icon. The only game-relevant attribute in this window is the radius and the extractable resources. It also has a button "View Planetary Industry" at the bottom.

Once you are in the planet view, you can drag and zoom to get a view from different angles. In the top-left corner are two tabs. "Build" and Scan". The scanning will be explained in [[Identifying valuable planets]]. To set up your colony you can use templates [to be added below] or go building-by-building.

The location of the Command Center is not relevant. In most cases it will not be connected to the rest of the colony and usually not used to export products from the planet. Your Command Center provides Powergrid and CPU to your entire colony. This limits how many buildings you can put in a colony. Everything takes a certain amount of CPU and Powergrid, including the links between the buildings. The Command center itself does not need to be connected by a link for this. However, if you double-click anywhere on the planet it will center the view on the Command Center, so having it close to the rest of the colony might make navigating back there easier.
