Not really a big thing, but I constantly find myself going "Okay, I need green asteroids, where were they in the chart again?" to try and figure out where a specific type of asteroid is in relation to the star (aka, where it is in the heat map).
Might make things a bit more intuitive if the color of the asteroid was a match for where in the heat map it was located. We sort of already have this, tekt is burnt looking and is closest to the star, larimar is blue and icy and is the farthest out from the star.
But we also have sugil being purple and right next to the star, and chabaz being orange and out in the far reaches.
Perhaps re-arrange things on the heat map so that it goes:
Tekt
Cinnabar
Chabaz
Lukrah
Varis
Sugil
Larimar
Dolom
The reds and oranges and yellows are all close to the star and are warm colors, the cool colors are far away from the star.
Would mean some swapping out of ice for lava in a few cases, but overall it would be nice to have the colors be a little more intuitive so that they're easier to find.
