I have the following for number of planets for universe size based on help file. Anyone able to confirm?

	
	Sparse	Normal	Dense
Tiny	25	32	40
Small	98	128	160
Medium	222	288	360
Large	394	512	640
Huge	615	800	1000

From http://starsfaq.com/advfaq/q_and_a.htm#3.12

3.12) How many and how dense are the stars in various universe setups?

Here is the number of planets / density information for all
universes, credited to Leonard Dickens.

Number of planets in a galaxy.

These numbers are not exact, actual number of planets may vary by
1 in a tiny/sparse, or 6+ in a huge/packed

Number of stars
Sparse Normal Dense Packed
Tiny 24 32 40 60
Small 96 128 160 240
Medium 216 288 360 540
Large 384 512 640 910
Huge 600 800 940 945

I've found that to be pretty accurate, except the variation seems to be less than they say.

That's the page I always use as well.

Apart from Huge Dense and Large/Huge Packed it is a straightforward product of density x size x size.

sparse = 6, normal = 8, dense = 10, packed = 15.
tiny = 2, small = 4, medium = 6, large = 8, huge = 10

So Small Sparse = small x small x sparse = 4 x 4 x 6 = 96

Note the big jump between packed and the other three settings.
(dense is closer in density to sparse than to packed !!!)

edit: added Large/Packed to exceptions
