Default Re: SE4 Map analyser

In which data files is the information on what random chances each possibility is assigned? I looked around for this a while back and couldn't find it. I assumed "Any" in a system setup was an equal chance of all possibilities, but obviously I was wrong since (for example) there are more rock planets than ice in a normal mid-life quadrant.

Also, is it a bug in your program's analysis or are rock/methanes slightly more common than average rock worlds and ice/methanes slightly less? I ask because it's the only non-vacuum data point that shows a difference in probabilities between atmospheric types.

Great program! My friend and I will definitely be rethinking our co-op strategy (currently we play gas/hydrogen and ice/methane because rock/oxygen and CO2 are relatively easier to gain from AI's...but if ice really do suck as much as these graphs show, I'll be switching to rock/methane ASAP!). Thanks a ton for posting this!
