Notes and references[edit]

1Size affects the sprite used to represent the planet in interplanetary mode and the number of satellites. Small worlds are either moons or planets without any moons. Large worlds have a 193/256 chance of having no moons, a 51/256 chance of having a single moon, and a 12/256 chance of having two moons. Gas Giants have a 27/256 chance of having no moons, a 38/256 chance of having a single moon, a 64/256 chance of having two moons, a 64/256 chance of having three moons, and a 63/256 chance of having four moons. Whether the planet is Topo or Cratered affects the way its surface map is generated.
