Integral map designer documentation?

Is there any?

I just bought Sins a week or so ago, and I'm favorably impressed.  Doodling about with the map designer, though, is a little confusing.  What is the relationship between a "planet group" and the planets that show up in the map?  Even when I set the min and max values to 1, I get more than one planet, of types other than the type selected (i.e., if I specify a terran planet, I might get a terran and a couple of volcanic worlds, a terran, a volcanic and an ice world, etc.).

No matter what planets you specify, each player begins with a terran homeworld, an ice or volcanic planet nearby, and an asteroid nearby.  These "starter" planets are in addition to whatever you specify with the map designer.  If you want total control over your creations, you can use galaxyforge (see the downloads section).
