Odd.

Can you send me the files you were analysing so I can try it?

The files were sent to your pbw e-mail.

The problem is that the population modifiers provided are too small to cover the largest planets.

You need to either add more, or make that last modifier 99,999 instead of merely 9999.

I have updated the program to give a better message.

Thanks. It works now. My planet size file actually has smaller max populations for regular planets, although the ringworld entry (no sphereworlds) was in excess of the largest pop-modifier.

I did notice the program generates entries for none atmosphere and gas giant...?

The atmosphere is what the race breathes. The surface is the colony module that the race owns.

Vaccuum breathers can get gas giant colonization, but all their planets will be domed. Thus they do get some benefit, but it is smaller than most.

Duh. Makes sense. I'll try and think these things through next time.
