To add new category called hycean planets rename the texture called oceanclouds.png to hyceanclouds.png in Earthlike V2, modify oceanplanets.scc and to create hyceanplanets.ssc
Planets greater than 2 Earth masses in habitable zones have a higher percentage of water than Earth, can to find a lot of oceanic planets there. Even planets between 6-8 Earth masses have a percentage of 50% water and 50% rock (Sotin et al 2004 and 2007).
Hycean planets are planets with > 10 Earth masses (planets with radius > 13500 km). Hycean planets attract helium and hydrogen onto their atmospheres and clouds (Anderson et al 2021)
