Ever tried destroying/rebuilding a moon with a Tectonic Bomb & a planet destroyer? No matter how many times you destroy & recreate, you'll always end up with an 'Atmosphere - None' planet UNLESS you've already converted the Atmosphere of a moon. And even then, it'll only become the type of planet that you converted another moon into.

Example 1:
I have never converted a moon's atmosphere. No matter how many times I destroy/rebuild a moon, it's always going to be 'Atmosphere-None'

Example 2:
I have converted about 5 moons into Methane atmospheres. Now, when I destroy/rebuild a moon, I'll either get no Atmosphere, or Methane atmosphere.

Example 3:
I converted 5 moons into Methanes, and 5 moons into Hydrogens. Destroying/rebuilding a moon will give me either A) a Methane planet, B) a Hydrogen planet, or C) No-atmosphere planet

....
Looking at this, I have a theory: Asteroids canonly become planets that already exist/have existed in the Galaxy...and Asteroids made from destroyed moons (not via destroying a sun) can only become moons that already exist
