Vacuum breathers get gypped in FQM?

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.

Oh well.

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

Relusts of my calculations, I'll post the spreadsheet if you're interested

Planet Type	Stock (Mid-Life Quadrant)	FQM Std (Mid-Life Quadrant)	Change
Oxygen-Rock	8,32%	8,46%	101,69%
Oxygen-Ice	5,21%	5,10%	97,76%
Oxygen-Gas	7,79%	8,07%	103,64%
Hydrogen-Rock	8,32%	8,46%	101,69%
Hydrogen-Ice	5,21%	5,10%	97,76%
Hydrogen-Gas	7,79%	8,07%	103,64%
C Dioxide-Rock	8,32%	8,46%	101,69%
C Dioxide-Ice	5,21%	5,10%	97,76%
C Dioxide-Gas	7,79%	8,07%	103,64%
Methane-Rock	8,42%	8,61%	102,28%
Methane-Ice	5,11%	4,94%	96,69%
Methane-Gas	7,79%	8,07%	103,64%
None-Rock	8,95%	8,28%	92,51%
None-Ice	5,78%	5,23%	90,37%
None-Gas	0,00%	0,00%	#DIV/0!

Edit: Enters at the end of cells were translated as blank lines before the table.

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
