How to Make a Plan in Slipways?

The right click on colonization option was originally intended to solve the problem of information overload. The game's creator says he tried different approaches dead, but couldn't get anything to stick. When you pin an option, i know that's what you intend to do, so i can show those little lines that show you where to go from there. If i don't know what you're planning, there are too many of those lines to show and it just becomes clutter.
