Shadow's Expanded Habitability [Utopia 1.5]

Yep, it's back.

This mod enacts some very powerful changes to colonization.

However!
The addition of Savannah and Alpine worlds broke the symmetry the last version used.

So I remade it, and in remaking it, I decided to just wing it. Utopia didn't break it, surprisingly.

Planetary preferences are not symmetrical, not even across like planet types. An Ocean-world-preference race will like an Arctic planet (evolved in the sea; swims in the seas under the ice) a lot more than an Arctic-world-preference (evolved on top of the ice; limited to tiny islands) race will like an ocean world.

That having been said...

Even your worst-case scenario with this mod, "Fail," for a planet which is your polar opposite (Desert and Ocean, for instance,) is a 55% habitability, which is higher than the 20% that Vanilla Stellaris gave you.
