I am considering making a Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre EDH, but the task is a little daunting, I know theres Palladium Myr , but what else it there for colorless mana dorks available?
thanks atreyujames, not big on lotus guardian, but the rest are exactly what i was looking for.

Do they need to be creatures? Because there are much better mana rocks than those mana dorks in colorless.

Paradise Mantle can turn whatever creature you want into a mana dork

In a colorless deck Pili-Pala is just bad. pay two colorless to get one colorless?

If you're interested in speed, there are a couple of other classes of cards to look for as well.
Mana multipliers: Mana Reflection , Extraplanar Lens , Doubling Cube , Caged Sun , etc.
Creature cost reducers: Cloud Key , Eye of Ugin , Council of the Absolute , Heartless Summoning , Krosan Drover , Planar Gate , etc.
Then of course there's the best big-creature accelerator of all: Omnath, Locus of Mana . Though I might be biased.

And then I notice the "colorless" part. You aren't actually playing a colorless commander, are you? Well, a couple of the cards I mention still work.

Skittering Invasion will create spawns to pay for Ulamog.
You also might want Unwinding Clock . That'll let you untap all those mana producing artifacts at the beginning of everyone's untap step to play stuff on their turns.

Actually, you can't use any card that says "add one mana of any color to your pool" if Ulamog is your commander. You can't have mana in your pool that's not your commanders colors. In other words, you can't play anything that makes colored mana. Lands included.

You can have lands that say "Add one mana of any color" as long as they don't include the WUBRG symbols themselves. You just can't spend it as colored mana.

Ringleader: A deck may not generate mana outside its colours. If an effect would generate mana of an illegal colour, it generates colourless mana instead.

I decided to use Omnath, Locus of Mana as my mander instead of ulamog, that way I can still run ulamog and have a way eisier time of dropping him too,
