By request.
And rather than add to page nine of a half-dead thread, I'm going to post my list of the running WBH Errata on this fresh thread:
-------
p. 34 orbit data for Cab (C) should be from Ca, not Cb. Also fix on p. 63 and 140.
p. 55 gas giant diameters and masses. Make mass formula related to diameter result (use it or a derivation as the multiplier constant) with a possible DM for HZCO.
p. 57 given the Significant Moon Sizing table, and the wording of the paragraph that follows, clarify what happens with Size 1 and 2 worlds – consider a re-write of that paragraph.
p. 70 Size F second number should be 24,799 (not 4,799)
p. 73: Belt Bulk = 2D +2 +DMs, not 2D2+DMs
p. 76, for Moon Orbit: any MOR less than 0 is treated as 0. If a moon is created above the HSML, then it is discarded. For cases where a Large Moon is near the Roche Limit and near the Size of the Planet, consider a Roche World scenario – but only if the HSML is sufficiently large enough to support the configuration.
P. 81: Each Oxygen Fraction formula should only have two terms:
(Published copy first formula has an extra +(1D-1)/20 which needs to be deleted.
p. 89: unbound pressure ranges –
ignore the span. Instead, roll D3 to determine the number of zeros, then roll d10 (with 10=10, not 0) in front of it. So if you had a 1 for the D3, you'd get a total atmospheric pressure of 10-90, and with a D3 of 3, the range would be 1000-9000 and then if you want, roll d10 (with 10=0) for additional digits of accuracy if desires.
p. 103 Hydrographic examples should be H-D format to start.
p. 103 ‘ajthough’ at the bottom of the page should be ‘although’
p. 107 #3 should be the same text as the first sentence of the chart note:
On either a 3:2 or 1:1 tidal lock, If a world’s axial tilt is more than 3°, reroll the world’s axial tilt as (2D-2) ÷ 10 degrees
p. 109: Basic Temperature for 0 should be 188K
p.110: change: ‘On the table, a rocky terrestrial world is considered any world with a density greater than 0.4.’ to 0.5 to match table and spreadsheet.
p. 119 missing ‘180/π’ in example below orange.
p. 126, tidal heating formula and description are okay, but should be validated or better explained – especially the correspondence of energy to object mass.
p. 131: On the example for Compatibility, remove the DM+3 and change the roll to be a 10
.
p. 132 Habitability DM table, 2nd line for Gravity should be 0.2-0.4 (rather than 0.2-0.7)
p. 146, Moon’s orbit should be 384,399 and eccentricity should be 0.0549
p. 157: Balkanisation: … compete (not complete)
p. 187: Resource factor DM for Agricultural:
Agricultural: DM+1-1D
p. 194: Add to Highport present table: Population 6-, DM-1
In POP section add Benford’s Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford's_law ) :
Or better yet:
