Let's Play a Game Called: Identify this Planet Bonus Icon

Here it is, the pretty Planet Bonus Icons...I for the life of me cannot figure out what some of them are, so I ask for your input...goal is to have a comprehensive list, so here goes...coordinates will work like matrix coordinates, where (x,y) denotes the item in the xth row (where row 1 would be the top row) and y denotes the item in the yth column (where column 1 would be the left most column)...

Here is a list of the in-game Planet Bonuses I have yet to confidently associate with a picture:

  • Conductive Mantle (maybe 2,5 or 3,4?) (Description says conductive metals help planet act like giant antenna)
  • Helium Rich Atmosphere (maybe 4,4 or 8,6?)
  • Signal Interference (maybe 2,4 or 8,3?)
  • Solar Energy Harvesting (mabye 8,3 or 9,3 or 9,5?) (Description says planet is close to sun and has thing atmosphere)f
  • Stable Debris Field (maybe 3,6?)
  • Geothermal Hot Spots (maybe 4,,3 or 5,6 or 9,5)

BLUE indicates that it is clearly identified in-game...GREEN indicates that it is not used in game (cavern picture is used instead) but I'm fairly confident this is the correct association...YELLOW indicates that I have a good guess but am not sure...RED indicates complete clueslessness...PURPLE indicates that it is not associated with any in-game bonus, but there's a good guess for what it could be used for...

Hush I haven't finished it and it's being very finicky...it won't save changes...

I used 8,3 for Solar Energy harvesting in my mod. Helium rich atmosphere I used 8,6. Can't remember the rest off the top of my head but I think I did give each bonus a unique icon.

Goa, what do you think of 9,3 for solar and 4,4 for helium?  9,3 sorta looks like solar panels (maybe?) and 4,4 maybe is a blob of stuff in the atmosphere...

Some of these are soooo sketchy....

I really don't know what to make of 4, 4. I'm not sure if I used it, but it looks more like a microorganism than an atmosphere to me.

4, 4 reminds me of an airship/blimp/etc.

I want all these icons and unique bonusses implemented. NOW.

One of these days there's going to be a "Mecha-Lenin" planet bonus with a troll face as its icon...

I will accept nothing less than an artifact. Culture spread rate bonus would be appropriate.

But then we'd have to redo the entire artifact UI just to add a slot for you...planet bonuses can help spread culture locallly though.....

Yep that seems like a modder's move. Goa is probably getting ready to retaliate with jelly beans right now.

The sad thing is that these icons were present since Vanilla yet most of them still remain unused...
