Atmosphere types

[JurijD]

Do all atmospheres have an equal probability of existance on each of the planet types?

exmaple: in the long run... do we get the same number of Rock Oxygen as we get for exmple Ice Hydrogen planets? or any other combination.... (except Gas None

[Baron Munchausen]

Nope. Oxygen/rock is by far the most common type of planet in the default game. Carbon dioxide and methane seem to be next in frequency. Like so many other parts of the game you can get whatever distribution you want by modifying the right config files, hough.

Rock/None and Ice/None are the most common, because of all the moons. But if you don't count moons, then there are slightly more Rock/Methanes than anything else. This is due to what appears to be a typo (cut-n-paste error probably) in the config files whereby what should be a small Ice/Methane planet got marked as a small Rock/Methane planet instead. (meaning, of course, that there are less ice/methane planets...)

That just is not true. Other than None atmospheres, the planet types and atmospheres are fairly balanced, other than the Methane issue which Spoon has mentioned.

Fatigue is not a good thing...

i always find that what ever i pick has the least amount... I call it the Tesco Start...

Yeah, but that is just due to you being Tesco, not due to the data files. All the planets you would like are far away in other empires' territories.
