Release 2.8.4 - Sinuous Tubers & Display Init
This update predominantly features another big revision to sinuous tuber predictions. After visiting several sites and looking at the available data, it seems the tuber spawn rules changed fairly significantly in Odyssey. There are some additional updates to fix the blank and improperly initialized display when EDMC first starts up.
All About Tubers
It seems that in Odyssey, each tuber spawn zone has a distinct one or two tuber varieties that can appear in that area. Each tuber variant therefore has around two to four zones in which it can appear.
Note: These zone definitions are best estimates based on data pulled from EDAstro's codex spreadsheet. Some of them are better defined than others and very likely all are inaccurate to some extent. I will attempt to pull fresh data after a while and run the numbers again and adjust these definitions as needed. The galactic center is very well defined. The semi-hidden zone inside Empyrean Straits is probably the least well defined with 7 data points. Any data submitted to EDAstro could help.

Other Factors
Rocky body tubers seem to have a requirement that the orbital period is less than one day.
Metallic magma volcanism seems to be reserved for roseum tubers and will not spawn other types.
