Default Re: moons

It doesn't really cause any problems except for one thing I have noticed. If you alter the settings to allow medium, large or huge "moons" (really a double planet) then there is a chance that a player will start on a hostile planet as homeworld and a habitable "moon" in orbit around the homeworld. It doesn't happen very often, though.

Or at least in one game my oxygen, rock empire started on a carbon dioxide, gas giant planet with a large oxygen, rock planet in orbit around the gas giant. Was an interesting start for a human player, but I don't think the AI can handle it.

(Which is strange since all it needs to do is build a colony ship, colonize the "moon" and transfer as much population across that can fit on the "moon"...)
