Why didn't Krypton have colonies? [Serious question for DC guys]

Seriously. They have huge-ass spaceships and shit, why didn't they have a network of planetary colonies or space-borne habitats to house a good amount of the species even before they got roflstomp'd?

Why did they waste their super cool spaceship on prisoners instead of just letting them die?

Serious question

In some continuities they did, but shit hit the fan and they decommissioned it or something for some reason.

Because they needed to be a race of retards for the set up of superman to even be possible.

I believe they did, but their society had gone stagnant and igorant. That's why they didn't listen to Jor-Els warnings.

They did
But the whole blowing up of Krypton happened lol

They did, which allows for lots of Zod-esque plotlines to be repeated over and over when things get dry.

They did have colonies, but because of political crisis they abandoned them.

So. Were these colonies like the size of how our colony on mars is going to be in a couple decades, or full on terraformed and habitable with trade routes and shit?

Because if it's the latter, I don't see why they couldn't just move the population.

Well not sure in the movie. They did expand but something went wrong with their terraforming machines and they lost all their colonies. From that time onwards they have remained on Krypton.
