atmospheric modification facilities would help...kind of weird though - removing an atmosphere completely....

Why is there so much blank space before the table?

Also, that color scheme is distracting when trying to compare something like all the rock planets.

There are the same number of Methane Ice as Oxygen Ice planets in the unmodded game. Your results appear incorrect. What are you basing these calculations on?

The results are be in % of total facility slots.

I calculated the proportion of every planet/size/type combination based on sector types, and in the system and quadrant files.

Here's the file if you want to check for mistakes, it took me a while to copy data from the FQM systems file and there could be some mistake there.

No there are not, there is 1 more small-methane-rock planet and 1 less small-methane-ice planet the stock sectortypes file.

Interesting... so vacuum breathers don't get gypped, it's really the ice people... wonder if that could be fixed just by adding duplicate entries to SectType.txt...

edit: funny, whenever I play as a rock race all the good planets seem to be ice

Your results make no sense.

SectTypes.txt is exactly the same in FQM Standard as in the unmodded game, so that can not account for any difference.

The only systems that I called for rock or ice planets specifically are the Standard 1-6 AS and Ancient 1-6 AS, and those systems do not appear in Mid-Life quadrants.

Actually, the Standard 12 AS I and II have an Ice planet called as the 12th "planet", so there should be a few more Ice planets, not less.
