Saw a few post about the uselessness of 0 Quality planets and what to do with them.

Just thought I'd mention that if you pump the 0 quality planet quality to 36 (MAX) using te ctrl+p cheat you can not only colonies the world but it will have about 6 useable tiles.

Thus I just played a tiny universe and pumped all the 0 quality planets to 36 I must say game was alot of fun these 6 tile planets were very useful for putting the one off wonders, military zone bonues, social etc etc.

Basically just buy buildings in all six tiles when you have the cash or build all factoires first and then slowly swap them to more useful ones.

The lo pop on these planets make it easy to conqor them and have them concord, also found them a handy bargaining tool when dealing with other races.

Its only a cheat if you only make the planets near you 36, but if you buff every 0 planet to 36 at the start when you scout everything then it all fair game

anyway just thought it might be of interest to some people who have read the online cheat notes that increase planet quality cheat does NOT increase tiles on a planet, when it does just not in hte way you'd expect.

Just quiety I would have liked a map editor so you can create an entire map from scratch including number of planets around a star and types of planets after I found myself starting a new game 10 or so times just to get the galactic placement I want someon ina courner somtimes right smack in the middle depending on what type of game I want to play at the time.
