I have heard for awhile that the gravity and temp values come from a normal distribution but that the radiation value is from a uniform distribution. From this it is argued that you should take radiation immunity even though it is the field where you get your first terraforming capability.

I was curious just how much difference it would make so I ran a test:

-f IS race, 1/1000
temp band -96 to 96, grav band same, rad immune
small, packed (240 worlds)

I colonized and terraformed all worlds and put a large freighter orgy in orbit over each and then let the game gen to 2700. The resulting economy was 158k.

Repeated the experiment with a grav immune band and radiation the same width as temp. Resulting economy was 144k.

So taking rad immunity resulted in a 10% increase in final economy.

To get a similiar increase, you would need to take 1/900 and that is 200 points in the race wizard.
