I have restored the original Gas Giants from stock and they will still not generate. There is something else going on here but what? Have I stumped all you beta testers?

If the stock ones won't work the problem is with your system generation, not the planets..

This is getting me so frustrated; I can’t even sum in words how I feel! This time I set 7 of my working 9 to 0% chance for generation. I set the eighth at 1% and Gas Giants at 99% and out of a 202 solar system quadrant I only got 1 planet. My home world! If it’s with the system generation what should I try next? I am using stock settings for system generation and stock Gas Giants so why didn’t the above test work?

Gas giants have a special case of not allowing none atmosphere... might that be a monkey wrench in the works?

Is gas listed last, and do you have the footer on the file (*END*)

Sounds like the problem I had adding new planet sizes.

What's your planetsize.txt look like?

I have the following Gas Giant atmospheres: Methane, Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide. Gas Giants are eighth in PlanetSize.txt (attached) and eighth in StellarObjectTypes.txt. Should I move it to first in or both of those? And I definitely have the footer, I just double checked that one.

Edited in: Do you think maybe SE5 is having a hick-up because there are NO oxygen type gas giants? Are the gas giants so restricted we have virtually no freedom with them? I am going to try adding oxygen and if that doesn’t work I will try moving them to the top of the list. First I am going to play some DBZ 3 and release some frustration SS4 Vegeta style.

Does Type I show up? I'm wondering if SEV is choking on the planets having 0s for their population, storage, etc..

As I mentioned earlier it is generating everything except the Type G. When I generate a quadrant I am getting Moons, Asteroids, Type 1 (one), Type 2 (two), Type V (which is zeroed out), Type T, Type ST, and Type I (which is zeroed out). The only ones I don’t get are Type G.
