This is extremely useful. Would it be possible to add a column with the planet types? It'd be nice to know whether a planet is a gemstone world, for cargo space consideration. --Elestan 05:01, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Actually, what would be even more useful would be to have a single table containing every planet in the game, with the following sortable fields:
System Planet X Coord Y Coord RUs BioUnits Risk factor Weather Tectonics Temperature Fuel Type Territory Distance from Sol
Sol Jupiter-A 175.2 145.0 1176 0 some 1 4 -163 ?? Radioactive Human 0
Sol Mercury 175.2 145.0 1060 0 moderate 1 3 165 ?? Metals Human 0
From a glance at the code, Fuel should be equal to (PlanetDensity * PlanetRadius)/5000.
For more bonus points:
  • Re-scale Temperature into a 1-8 range like the other two hazards. From another glance at the code, the temperature breakpoints are at <50,<100,<150,<250,<350,<550,<800, >=800.
  • Make Risk Factor a number equal to the sum of the points greater than 2 in each of the three hazards.
  • Add a column for the total cargo size of the planet's RUs. --Elestan 07:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
