Default Re: Problem with system generation

How is the random generation of planets handled? Given this line:

Code:

Chance Type 1 Any Comp 3 Type := Gas Giant
Chance Type 1 Any Comp 3 Chance := 25



Does this mean (#1) a 25% percent chance out of a 100 that a gas giant will be created? Or (#2) does it mean a 25% chance out of the total of four (also set at 25%) chances I have that a gas giant will be created. I would think that if it was #2 the systems would be much more heavily populated with planets than they are.
