Re: FQM Reactions
I'm in a game using your mod.
For the most part, I think it's a well-balanced mod...no advantages to certain atmospheres and planet types. However, in this game, I'm creating planets. What I don't know is if the FQM mod comes into play when a new planet is randomly generated. BUT, something seems wrong. I've created around 50 planets and only ONE has turned out being NONE atmosphere. Not what I would call random (or else I've had bad luck). The majority were rock (around 30). Gas was next followed by ice. Carbon dioxide was the clear winner in atmospheres.
So, I was just wondering if the mod had its effect placed on planet creation. If so, then something seems out of place with regards to generating random NONE atmospheres.
Otherwise, I like the mod. One sure does have to click to look at the moons, though (hehe). Yes, tend to agree with another poster about those "asteroid" systems where the entire thing is filled up with asteroids...but it doesn't occur that often (judging it from the occurances in the PBW tourney map).
One question, though: I don't think I've seen planets with percentages higher than 150. Is that right? Why not make it a bit more realistic (well, perhaps it's more realistic) by upping the resource percentages where planets occur with lots of high-resource asteroids. Seems a bit weird to see all those asteroid fields with numbers in the 200's and check out the planets to see them with wimpy resources. Just a thought. Perhaps the logic is too difficult to create (i.e., this logic: IF "lots of asteroids" then PLANET percentages range from 75 - 300 percent)
Keep up the good work. We appreciate it, Fyron!
