1. You need enough colonists to establish a viable population. A study of space colonies placed the lower limit at 150 people. Another of Australia placed 16 couples as the absolute minimal number to establish a colony. Easter Islanders brought various food stuffs from their homeland. That formed the basis for their agriculture. Further Polynesians bred their livestock before setting sale. That allowed for a fast increase once ashore.
