Wiki doesn’t mention it. Seems like it should though.

By default it does not, no.

There are multiple mods that "fix" this; for example, my own Planetary Shield: Access Control mod.

Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.

(Oh, hey, it really seems like it should do that, and it's an easy change on my end - coded that in.)

Thank you both. :)

I need to dig through your mod Wyvern - the first look that I gave it, very interesting about the Pather interest reduction.

Do meteor strikes even occur randomly? I think I've only seen them on some core worlds.

A planetary condition that doesn't occur randomly and is only found on some core worlds.

Currently, yah. Of course, players can Sat-Bomb the core worlds and colonize.

Would be neat if there was a "no pick" line for this so it could be set up as a procgen condition for a bit of extra variety.
