Questions about book 6 extended system generation

[tonieee]

I have a couple of questions about the extended star system generation from book 6:

1) When planets are in the outer zone of a companion star that itself is in the habitable or inner zone of the primary star, do they count as being in the habitable/inner zone?

2) When rolling for a captured planet, it could end up being in an orbit that has been made unavailable by the presence of a companion star - should this be allowed?

Not official answers:
1) The physics based answer is that you should work out the insolation based temps to ensure it's actually not overheating when checking the hab zone. For simplicity, I just treat that situation as inner zone.

2) I don't leave it there; If it's inside the secondary, i move it to the outermost survivable; if it's beyond the secondary, I put it in the secondary's outermost available. YMMV.

Thanks. Those sound like nice solutions.
