Vacuum breathers get gypped in FQM?

Actually, given the massive numbers of planets of all sorts added in FQM, I don't think anyone's at a new disadvantage.

I would tend to disagree. That (FQM) is about the only place I play None/Ice or None/Rock - because they seem to be at a disadvantage. At least from my perspective.....

I think you're right.
I'll try to remake my planet comparison chart for the FQM and send suggestions to improve balance if possible.

I think you'll find more oxygen planets than other types. Just look at the image mod.

You're talking about the Deluxe Version.
I thought we were talking about the Standard FQM.
I have to count planets in one Version before the other so it makes sense doing it first for the std and then for the dlx.

FQM standard does not change the secttype.txt file. All it does is make the moons be any atmosphere instead of all being none. But, there should still be about as many none atmosphere moons anyways as there are in the normal game.

If I understand it correctly:

There are the same number of None moons available.
There are more Atmospheric moons available.

None gets no bonus (same # of moons)in FQM
Non-nones do get a bonus (more moons)in FQM

so, yup, vaccuum breathers get gypped in FQM.
