solar system - How many planets do on average different star types support?

I'm working on a game which takes place in space. My team and I want to create a solar system generator for the game.



We have selected 8 types of stars:



  • White dwarf

  • Red Dwarf

  • Binary

  • Super Red

  • Proto star

  • White

  • Yellow

  • Blue

But we are wondering how many planets can each star type support on average, and what are the minimum and maximum number planets for each kind? Is there any such study suggesting number of planets that stars of different mass could support?
