Spawn limits not at all communicated

[Fang-]

In 2019, stars have a spawn limit of 1024 planets. This limit isn't communicated in Bridge, but should be.

Is this mentioned anywhere besides the code itself?

No, that's why I opened this issue. (^:

Is this just a temporary technical limitation? Or what's the explanation? I feel as though this should also be documented.

In an attempt to prevent the address space from being flooded, stars have an exponentially increasing spawn limit that reaches their natural cap (of ~64k planets) in 2025.

Yes, I guess this should be in the docs also.
