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.
I've used the original calculations, as I'm uncertain of a replacement formula
p. 70 Size F second number should be 24,799 (not 4,799)
I caught that already. I did ask Claude Code (AI) to take a look at this, and this was the response:
- Base = 23,200
- d3 modifier: 0, 600, or 1,200
- d6 modifier: 0, 100, 200, 400, 400, or 500 (the reroll logic on d3=3 + d6=5 or 6 means d3+d6 max without overlap caps at 1,200+500=1,700... but the reroll prevents d3=3 combining with d6=5 or 6)
- d100 = 1–100
Maximum without the reroll restriction: 23,200 + 1,200 + 500 + 100 = 25,000 — but the reroll rule prevents d3=3 (1,200) combining with d6=5 or 6 (400/500). So the true maximum when d3=3 is d6 max 4 (400): 23,200 + 1,200 + 400 + 100 = 24,900. When d3≠3, max is 23,200 + 600 + 500 + 100 = 24,400.
So the actual range is 23,201 – 24,900, not 23,200–24,799. Your lower bound of 23,200 is technically unreachable too (d100 minimum is 1, so minimum is 23,201).
The range you quoted (23,200–24,799) doesn't match the code. Is this a discrepancy against the rulebook you'd like corrected?
p. 73: Belt Bulk = 2D +2 +DMs, not 2D2+DMs
This is the formula I'm using
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.
MOR is checked, if < 0 then it doesn't assign orbits.
I wasn't discarding moons above the HSML, I've just added that check (will be in the next release).
I've not got a check for large moons near the Roche Limit.
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.
Changed, I now use ((1d6 + DM) / 20) + ((2d6 − 7) / 100) (will be in the next release).
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.
I currently don't do corrosive and insidious subtypes. I plan to revisit atmospheres in the future.
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
This has been updated for the next version.
p. 109: Basic Temperature for 0 should be 188K
Also updated for the next version.
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.
Updated in the next version
p. 132 Habitability DM table, 2nd line for Gravity should be 0.2-0.4 (rather than 0.2-0.7)
Already fixed that one.
p. 157: Balkanisation: … compete (not complete)
Didn't understand this one. Balkanisation must have resulted in hundreds of lines of extra code, the gift that kept giving
p. 187: Resource factor DM for Agricultural:
Agricultural: DM+1-1D
Already fixed
How official is this? I can do it, is it something people want?
