Default SE4 Map analyser

I was thinking of making an SE4 map analyser, for helping to make sure the distribution of planets for gas/ice/rock and each atmosphere stays fair.

It would have to read the quadranttypes, and get you to pick one, probably.
Then it would grab the info from the planetsizes.txt to get statistics on the value of each planet size.
And then it would scan the sectortypes file to get find how many of each get placed, and total the value of each surface/atmosphere combo.

Now, the question is, what stats does it need to end up with?

Total Facility slots for sure.
Total Population capacity too.

If it reads settings.txt for the popmodifiers too:
Total SY rate?
Total production rate?
