Category definition
Availability distinguishes systems present by default from optional, conditional, expansion or DLC, and mod-only content.
← Analytics overview
System availability
How and when a documented queer system becomes available to players.
Calculation
Each system record contributes to its recorded availability value. Missing values are shown as Not recorded.
Interpretation
Availability reveals access conditions but does not indicate discoverability, cost, regional access, or how easy a condition is to satisfy unless those details are documented separately.
Percentage base: all documented queer-system records.
Includes Not recorded when values are missing.
Normally matches the record total when every field is classified.
