i was very excited to see habital planets revolving around orange, red and white stars in DA. it'd always been a bore to me that the only systems with habitalbe planets in DL had yellow stars (at least on a random sandbox map).
i still haven't seen planets around blue or green stars, and it's rare to find habitable planets around red, orange and white (i think i've only seen a few orange, and red/white once in different games).
can the likelyhood for different star types to bear habitable planets be modified? i'd like to increase the occurance of planets around non-yellow/sol star types.
also, is there a way to mod what types of planets are likely to occur orbiting what type of star? that'd be less important, even though i do think jungle worlds, for example, would occur more around blue stars (plants love blue light), for example.
i haven't had much of a chance to look into either of these things, and i know very little about the startypes.xml and associated files.
thanks!
