I bought a new computer recently and re-installed BoTF, but it soon struck me that I'd not copied over the Mod installation file or even noted down the name of it >.<

Basically, as I'm very fussy about only colonising planets with over 250 max pop, I had found a mod that boosted most planet sizes. A barren planet for example would have up to 150 instead of a meagre 5-70 and almost every system with 4+ planets met my 250 pop requirement more easily.

I'd guess that this is part of a larger mod, anybody know of one which increases planet sizes without a whole bunch of other drastic changes to the game?
