Similar to [[Utilities/Online Utilities#Craebild's Stars! Overall Planet Habitability and Race Econ Calculator|Craebild's Stars! Overall Planet Habitability and Race Econ Calculator]], you plug in the hab values of your race, and it tells you what the planets you would get would look like... If you went into a universe with a universe where each possible star appeared it's statistical average number of timesonly a a whole lots less pretty and a more accurate. Unlike Craebild HabCalc, this calculates based on the complete set of possible planet values rather than a random sample or a theoretical distribution. To use: edit input.txt, run habcalc and the results will be stored in output.txt.
Hab kit is an excel macro to filter the New Player Reports for habitability. Contains instructions.
