Sorry I didnt:L You will soon receive a list of 'special' resources that other countries don't have access too. All other colonies just collect the basics, ore, wood etc. And remember you wont actually bring a profit in for a while since a colony takes a while to become profitable.

Ah okay good.

I wasn't expecting an instant profit but I did commit 1B to the first colonial venture personally then got docked a little more in the update so I just thought I should check it'd actual have an impact :)
