i noticed that during an edit on June 30th of 2024, Earth was marked as being a Ruinworld. when previously its status was marked as unknown. However, the citation used doesn't contain the name of any game XML. it only contains a red placeholder text.

Its from the book text generation code.
thanks for the quick reply! is that in the C# source code in the Source Folder, or somewhere else? i think it'd be helpful to update the footnote to mention that information is from RNG'd in-game books / the book generation code.
Last I checked (and iirc) the info for book generation is spread over a couple of .xmls.
But also its not strictly RNG - while whether a given book refers to the planet and its current status is random, if a book refers to the detail of a planet mentioned on the page, the detail should be consistent across playthrough. So Earth won't be a ruinworld in books in some playthroughs and an urbworld in books in another playthrough
