Better Planet Generation

Description
This is the vanilla version of this mod.
This mod Improves the galaxy generation to be more varied and realistic.
Changes:
-8 new planet types.
-1 and 2 planet systems dont exist.
-Stars have had their planet generation changed slightly and now obey this temperature chart:
Red Supergiant (Hottest)
Blue Star
Double Star
Yellow Star
White star (middle in term of temperature)
Dyson Sphere
Red Dwarf
Protostar
White Dwarf (Coldest)
-Artificial Stars now tend towards habitable planets and are rarer.
-All planet types can now spawn on all star types but the chances of say a lava planet on a white dwarf are very low (0.5%).
-The different gas giants now have different spawn chances depending on the star instead of it always being the same (colder gasses spawn more often on colder stars and vice versa).

Changes that exist here but have also been incorporated into ESG:
-Starless systems now have multiple planets as well as non gas giant planets (ice, ash, lava and barren).
-Minors now have more than one planet in their spawn pool.
-Starting star of some factions have been changed:
Sophon from blue star to red dwarf
Riftborn from blue star to white dwarf
Hissho from blue star to Dyson sphere
Nakalim from "blue" star to artificial star
-There's a small chance your home star is another type of star from the default (if you don't have ESGs balanced home on).

Changes that don't seem to quite work (sorry):
-The academy always has 5 planets (which is actually 4 cuz, you know).
-Old young and normal galaxy ages have more realistic and more different generation.
-More galaxy age options

@Tat011 obviously it does, but it prevents ram consumption. I have 32 GB or ram and with thus mod on, it is fully consumed on new game load till pc hangs and crashes

That's the textures folder, isn't that going to cause textureless planets?

@MercAngel I have same issue, and deleting Resources folder helped

@Tat011 I assume deleting Resources is just the tip of the iceberg

@Lukem - Tried that and the game would no longer load with the mod installed. I ended up having to uninstall and re-install the mod.

Just go to WeightTableDefinitions.xml and delete all entries with PlanetTypeCustom

Is there any way to remove specific planet types? Reason I ask is I also use Terraform Away and the custom planet types are unable to be terraformed.

yes game crash with this mod @Aezu does the same with 32GB of ram keeps going up till it runs out

if i remove the Resources folder from the mod it seams to work ok.

Hey, saw in the updates that UC anomalies shouldn't spawn on new planets, yet they did for me. I do use other mods, but none that modify planets, so I dunno why. Any help or just a note if this is still being worked on would be appreciated!

Okay, thank God I'm not the only one having issues. Took me an hour of experimenting, but with this mod on and nothing else- it causes my game upon entering a game to go up to over 12+GB of RAM and locks my entire PC if I don't end task before it 99% it.

I genuinely have no idea how this happens and why this mod specifically does it but for people with 16GB of RAM or less I don't think you can play with this mod.

That obviously only applies to custom planets.
'AcademyEra1' is not a property i modify in this mod so this isn't an error with my mod, and if it was what crashes your game it'd crash for everyone, not just some people.
