Planets
This page contains a list of planets.
It is part of the game concept and describes locations for the story article.
The discovery of new planets by trade or expansion connections includes a random calculation. The unused planets will be part of a free planets list. If the player leaves a planet, because the average TL based on the planet races gets to low, the planet will be part of an old free planets list. The player can stay on an old planet too, because the other races will use technologies from the player if he gets higher TLs by other races from other planets.
An old planet can be available after a random time period again. The availability of old planets can be limited to a specific amount of rediscoveries. Specific planets can have multiple names and story elements, for different discovery times. E.g. the Earth with the initial, known story and a second earth called Anuka in the later game process with another story.
A planet has three free race slots in every case. But the amount of races on new planets can be between one and three and will be selected randomly. If a planet has three races it will have no free slots left. If a planet story has a specific content, it might be useful to set a minimum/maximum or fixed amount of races in relation to the planet story. Sometimes it might be useful too, to connect two planets if the story includes a dependency between two planets.
The connections between planets are limited. A planet can have maximal three trade connections and three expansion connections. The player can have maximal 20 planets overall with maximal 30 trade connections overall. Expansion connections include trading functions. The maximal connection amounts can be changed in a later development phase for balancing.

The humans are the only race which is fixed on earth at the start of the game. All other races on further (old) planets will be selected randomly. The probability to discover a new race on a new planet is higher than to discover an existing race of the current available planets. The amount of the probability to rediscover an existing race depends on the amount of this race on the existing planets. With higher TL the probability to discover more planets with more than one race increases.
If a race has an important relation to a planet, the race can have a planet connection. The random calculation will include the race with the important connection in every case.
