The Planet Size is the amount of fields a planet has to build on. The more fields there are, the more structures can be built. When you run out of available fields, you cannot build any more structures (see; Terraformer). Planet sizes range from 10-20 fields all the way to about 250 fields. Most average around the 100-200 range however.
Some players do not mind how many fields their colonies have.Players who are planning to play OGame for a long time should delete colonies that have a low amount of fields. Each player has their own definition of an "acceptable" amount of fields so below is a guide to how much you can build:

When you colonize a planet, the amount of fields you are likely to get depends on which planet slot you colonise. Below is a chart to show you the likelihood of getting a good planet size, depending on which planet slot you have chosen as your new home. The below chart does NOT represent the distribution of planet sizes for the Redesigned Universe, please see Colonizing in Redesign Universes for more information.
- pos1 to 3: 80% between 40 and 70 fields (55+/-15)
- pos4 to 6: 80% between 120 and 310 fields (215+/-95)
- pos7 to 9: 80% between 125 and 255 fields (200+/-45)
- pos10 to 12: 80% between 75 and 125 fields (100+/-25)
- pos13 to 15: 80% between 60 and 190 fields (125+/-65)
