Sometimes I get different textures... just before I rammed another ship (trying to beat him to a cargo pod) and died Esesla was showing a desert texture, now it's completely different...

Again, with a bit of regex matching to remove the prefix, this data (and anything else that can be accessed/calculated from script) can be written into whichever format is necessary, potentially more quickly than processing the data on the wiki page, as I can determine how I want the output to be printed.

this.name = 'Galaxy info dumper';

this.startUp = function() {
  for(var i=0 ; i < 256 ; i++ ) {
    var DumpSystem = System.infoForSystem(galaxyNumber, i)
    DumpSystem.galnum = galaxyNumber;
    DumpSystem.planetnum = i;
    DumpSystem.coord = DumpSystem.coordinates;
    log( this.name , JSON.stringify( DumpSystem ) );
  }

This process of using keywords in the system description to choose the right set of planet textures to pick from has already been done in Cmd. Cheyd's Deep Horizons-Systems. The code is there for anyone to see, so I don't think that you need to reinvent the wheel. It has a non-derivative license so I suggest someone contact him if you want to reuse to the code.

BTW there was nothing wrong with DH-systems all it needed was more textures and it is designed so that it can be used by others OXPers.

• An API without documentation
• The pedantry of its advocates

Two of the faces on Inzaquma (Gal 2) don't seem to match the rest of the planet. Four are continental in fairly subdued colours; the other two are islands in brighter colours.

Interestingly, if you have a look at Oolite's default descriptions.plist, there are various potential natural features that just don't show up in game. For example, there are no "dust clouds" or "ice bergs" (which should be one word, not two, but as it doesn't actually appear in-game I'm not too fussed), and the oceans could theoretically be "funny", "weird", "strange", "peculiar", "ancient" and "great" as well. I'm also not aware of any "exuberant" forests".

			"ice",
			"mud",
			"Zero-G",

			"volcanoes"

There's all sorts of oddities in the random seed. I don't think there's a single system whose name begins with "P" ...
