I saw your chat, (question like that is best asked on forum this way other can use info since chat gets deleted.
)
and QD's patcher will work on 64 bit system (you may need to allow it as admin? or unblock it since it is not a common program)
The patch you would want to apply would be "better colonies" but this if un changed will set your colony ships to give
colony value of 1
10 pop 1 food
colony value of 2
10 pop 2 food
colony value of 3
20 pop 2 food 1 industry
colony value of 4
20 pop 3 food 1 industry
colony value of 5
30 pop 3 food 2 industry 1 energy
colony value of 6
30 pop 4 food 2 industry 1 energy
colony value of 7
40 pop 4 food 3 industry 2 energy 1 databank 1 research
colony value of 8
40 pop 5 food 3 industry 2 energy 1 databank 1 research
colony value of 9
50 pop 5 food 4 industry 3 energy 2 databank 2 research
all these values can be change either within the patch before you apply it or in the trek.exe after you apply it
Just A note since you have already hex edited this area of trek.exe, that patch will show in red in QD patcher.
