CT Only: Quick & Dirty Realism in Book 3 Worldgen

[Golan2072]

A few quick & Dirty rules for somewhat more realistic Book 3 Worlds:

-Atmospheres 1 or A+ can only exist on worlds of Size 3+. If not, Size is bumped to 3.
-Atmospheres 2-5 can only exist on worlds of Size 4+. If not, Size is bumped to 4.
-Atmospheres 6-9 can only exist on worlds of Size 5+. If not, Size is bumped to 5.
-If the Population is zero, the Starport is set to X and the Government and Law Level are set to 0; bases are never present with such a low population.
- Barren worlds (i.e. no population) do not recieve the Ni trade code.
- Inhabited worlds with Atmospheres 4, 7 and 9 must have at least TL5. If not, TL is bumped to 5.
- Inhabited worlds with Atmospheres 3- must have at least TL7. If not, TL is bumped to 7.
- Inhabited worlds with Atmospheres A or B must have at least TL8. If not, TL is bumped to 5.
- Inhabited worlds with Atmosphere C must have at least TL9. If not, TL is bumped to 9.
- Worlds with Starport A must have at least a Population of 5 and TL9. If not, Population is bumped to 5 and TL to 9.
- Worlds with Starport B must have at least a Population of 3 and TL7. If not, Population is bumped to 3 and TL to 7.

This of course presumes that the worlds in question are inhabited by oxygen-breathers with similar biological needs to Human (or Terran) life. You may want to further modify these rules relative to the biology of the inhabitants in question. (What may be tainted-standard atmosphere to humans may be perfectly normal for some sophonts, and a race of sapient chlorine-breathers would have different biological needs altogether).

This, of course, assumes a world inhabited by Humans and similar species.
