Default Re: Fyron\'s Quadrant Mod (2.09 released! 1.22 released!)
SE assign homeworlds to either to planets specified either as "medium" or "any" in systemtypes.txt. In case of "any" - it is most likely that SE IV first generates map and then converts randomly generated medium planets to homeworlds but may be not.

It is possible for SE IV to generate home worlds from vacuum: The "empty" system - just one sun and nothing else has a status "empire can start in = true". I once had a homeworld in such system - it was located in a sector 1:1. It seems that SE IV first assign races to systems that have "empire can start in = true" then it tries to place the homeworld. If there are no suitable planet, it may create one.
