Topic: bonus planet question (for mods)

Or anybody that can answer tongue.

Is it completely random, the layout of systems? Or can u choose how many of each type of bonus planet is in the galaxy?

As in 100% planets, 50% no bonus, 15% iron, 10%endu, 10%oct, 10%food, 5%science (0.5% morale)

is this an interchangable factor?


(Also I realise its redundant to type 100% planets, I cant see up my screen to fix it now lol)

Pretty certain it's random and mods don't have the control but probably not hard for a Developer to make that change I'd think.

Ahh ok, it should be tweaked slightly, in that not all neptunes are food planets, and also ever so slightly lower the amount of endu and oct planets. Like just a tiny bit smile

Re: bonus planet question (for mods)

It is not random at all, there are preset rules for the range of the amount of planets of eazh type in eazh system, and the final amount falls inside that preset. A.E from 40 to 60% of the planets will be normal, from 30 to 40% will be ressie planets (and then another preset for how ressies go), the leftover are for szienze.
The morale planets goes other way, kounting the total amount of planets and setting a random % and then pikin' the resulting amount in a random way.  The konkrete % idk, but it has inkreased thru the years, not around 0.5 to 1% right now, its higher.

Re: bonus planet question (for mods)

I believe what Render said was correct (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

at least I think...I could only read about half of the gobbledygook he typed.  Also, I don't think they can change the planet image to ressie bonus correlation.  I've always assumed it is done that way in early developing.

I.E.
Planets are allotted images at a certain %
Each image correlates with a specific bonus
Image A = Iron, Image B = End...etc.
