number of facilities??
 

Another question...how can you see how many total facilities a planet can hold before you colonize it????

Re: number of facilities??
 

Look in PlanetTypes.txt in the Data folder. It lists the values for planets of all sizes.

Re: number of facilities??
 

You can't... but you will quickly learn how it works. The key elements are atmosphere-- breathable or non-breathable, and size-- tiny, small, medium, large or huge

If non-breathable, the numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for the five sizes. Multiply by 5 if breathable.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Actually - the multiplier is 6. For example: O2 breather: Tiny - 6, Small - 12, Medium - 18, Large - 24, Huge - 30. However - I thought that Huge - non-breathable held 6 pop. I've never seen a 5 pop in any of my games and I'm running 1.78 now as well. I know what the PlanetSize.txt says but reality isn't quite that - for some reason.

i think the difference is advanced storage techniques, IIRC.

IIRC Advanced Storage Techniques gives you 20% more on planet. 20% more facilities, 20% more cargo, 20% more population... So a huge breathable gives 25 * 120% = 30 facs, huge domed gives 5 * 120% = 6 facs, etc....
