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

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


Another point is that if you take grav-immune then you usually don't leave the radiation centered.
In your example you will have the rad from 26 to 74 (48 wide).
You could shift that to 36 to 84 to gain some RW points, still leaving maximum room for the +/-15 terraforming. In other words you lose absolutely nothing by moving the rad band, but do gain RW points.
You cannot shift the temp band in this way as you start to lose terraforming space, and then hab the further you shift.

So comparing the grav-immune with the rad-immune you could say that the rad-immune does cost more points as you *have to* have the other bands more centered.
Taking grav-immune allows you to shift the rad band, gaining points in the process.

If you shift the rad band and then widen it you can get back the same hab that you get in the rad-immune scheme.
Obviously the exact costs will vary. Maybe it is always more expensive one particular way. However the difference is not going to be anywhere near 10%.
