More Frequent Vanilla Tier 2 Planets

This mod makes Barren, Desert and Forest planets more likely to generate over other Tier 2 planets. Intended to be used alongside Citybound to make its Populated worlds far less frequent. Not really intended to be used for any other purpose. In order to notice any changes, you will have to search in new areas of the universe that haven't been loaded before.

If used without Citybound, it will just make Barren planets more frequent over Desert and Forest planets. Only affects Tier 2 planetary selection. For more information on planet type grouping and generation, see: https://starbounder.org/Planets and https://starbounder.org/Stars



Technical Note: This mod simply adds a ton of entries for "barren", "desert" and "forest" planets to the terrestrialType arrays which are used when determining which planet types will generate in a star. Since Citybound adds the "populated" type to Tier 2 planet and satellite arrays, filling the array with more vanilla types decreases the chance for Populated worlds to appear in-game. If you want to tweak the frequency, simply add or remove entries to these arrays.

Should be compatible with other generation-affecting mods, but I haven't tested it with anything other than Citybound.
