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 Weather Tectonics Temperature Fuel Type Territory ΔSol
Sol Jupiter-A 175.2 145.0 1176 0 2 1 4 0 0.74 Radioactive Human 0
Sol Mercury 175.2 145.0 1060 0 2 1 3 3 0.35 Metals Human 0
  • Temperature is scaled into a 1-8 range to match the other two hazards. From another glance at the code, the temperature breakpoints are at <50,<100,<150,<250,<350,<550,<800, >=800.
  • Fuel is equal to (PlanetDensity * PlanetRadius)/5000, with a max of 3.0. (this appears to be what the code uses)
  • Risk is a number equal to the sum of the points greater than 2 in each of the three hazards.
  • ΔSol is the distance from Sol in Hyperspace units.
For more bonus points, add a column for the total cargo size of the planet's RUs. --Elestan 07:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
