Please take this as an observation looking for other people's agreement or disagreement rather than as a complaint. I have recently moved up to alpha12 and restarted multiple times, as well as having played for a long time. In the most recent restart I started on a large temperate planet. It states the gravity is 0.92g, or slightly less than earth normal. I did not change the frequency of ore deposits. My observation from this start and others is that it seems like the absolute number of POIs and ore deposits is a constant so that on a large planet you end up with more empty (nature filled) space than a medium planet (never tried small). The same seems to be for moons and such. I like the new POIs introduced with 12, but it just seems like the absolute number doesn't ever change. So I guess my questions are do other people agree? Would it be nice if each planet when generated had a random number of POIs and ores based on size such that you can really encounter a barren world? Or perhaps a slider in the difficulty setting to change the frequency of POIs even if this creates repeats?
I restart too often to have made it much past the starting planet very often, so that is good to know.
