transferAmount

Integer, Default: 100

The number of colonists that will be added to the Planet each time the ordnance hits it. A smaller partySize means that more ColonizingBeam ordnance will be used and vice versa.

Note that a maximum of 1000 colonists will land with a successful colonization. Consequently the partySize determines how quickly the progress bar for colonization proceeds.

transferTime

Float, Default: 5.0

The length of time in seconds it takes to complete transferAmount to the Planet.

Note that if transferTime is longer than the lifeTime of the ordnance, the ColonizingBeam will send less colonists per shot. The number of colonists sent per shot is determined by the following equation: (lifeTime / transferTime) * transferAmount .
