if max field is 252 sqrt 252 = 15.875 (max size in km, rounded up after sqrt) Can also be noted 252^0.5 = 15.87450786638754 15.875^2 = 252.015625 252 rounded down (after a square ^2)

with discoverer 10% bonus 15.875*1.1 = 17.4625 17.462^2 = 304.921444 or 17.463^2 = 304.956369 Rounded down to 304 fields

that's 52 fields more 304/252 = 1.206349206349206 or 20% more fields for a 10% bonus in planet size without counting neither the server settings additional fields nor terraformer which adds flat numbers on top

for the minimal planet size gain, let's look at 90 fields sqrt 90 = 9.487 9.487^2 = 90.00316900000000 9.487*1.1 = 10.43570000000000 10.436^2 = 108.910096 108 fields rounded down 108/90 = 1.2 18/90 = 0.2 20% increased fields

Explanation is most likely to be due to 1.1^2 = 1.21 rounded down

This seem to be still correct. This is also the information on this wiki:

90^0.5 = 9.487 164^0.5 = 12.807

12.807-9.487 = 3.320 10.523-9.487 = 1.036 1.036/3.320 = 0.312048192771084 Total Score for my planet: 31%

If Disco 9.487*1.1 = 10.436 12.807*1.1 = 14.088 14.088-10.436 = 3.652 10.523-10.436 = 0.087 0.087/3.652 = 0.023822562979189 Total Score for my planet: 2%
