A mod I am thinking of doing...

[AeoN2]

I have worked out some statistics out of the secttype.txt now that might be interesting to people (formatting isn't possible here though):

ROCK
----
(none/methane/oxygen/hydrogen/carbon)
tiny 3 6 6 6 6
smll 3 7 6 6 6
medm 3 6 6 6 6
lrge 3 4 4 4 4
huge 3 2 2 2 2

ICE
---
(none/methane/oxygen/hydrogen/carbon)
tiny 2 4 4 4 4
smll 2 3 4 4 4
medm 2 2 2 2 2
lrge 2 2 2 2 2
huge 2 2 2 2 2

GAS
---
(none/methane/oxygen/hydrogen/carbon)
tiny
smll
medm 2 2 2 2
lrge 4 4 4 4
huge 6 6 6 6

Now unless someone says otherwise I will assume the planets in the secttype.txt file has an equal chance of being chosen (since systemtypes.txt as far as I could see always chose random size and atmosphere except moons).

I then calculated how many facilities each race would get if all planets are equally represented (and no extra colonization tech):

ROCK:
-none: 475
-meth: 551
-oxyg: 543
-hydr: 543
-carb: 543

ICE:
-none: 292
-meth: 308
-oxyg: 316
-hydr: 316
-carb: 316

GAS:
-meth: 480
-oxyg: 480
-hydr: 480
-carb: 480

The most interesting fact is maybe that Rock/Methane is slightly superior to Rock/Oxygen (because there is one extra small Rock/Methane planet) ... looks like one small/rock/meth should have been ice instead...

Any comments to my finds?
