No, this isn't a list where you can post your finds to, I just couldn't resist making this thread title
So, similar to how I made an analysis of ELWs from the EDDB (and EDSM) data, which you can find here , I made one for ammonia worlds. Thanks again to Redfox for helping me obtain a relatively recent dump of the data! It's worth noting that compared to the current state of EDDB, this has considerably less ammonia worlds: after pruning out erroneous entries, of which there weren't many, this has 23,536 AWs, while EDDB lists 37,960. Perhaps there was an ammonia rush as the existence of Thargoids became fact, not just rumours?
Anyway, here's the sheet that you're looking for: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mxSZjAMAL_N9i8WiZzZFZkl64CrvRypg8d5jf_56TlY/edit?usp=sharing
Similar to how I did a mapping of such ELWs onto a sector map, I'll do it for these too. It'll just be a bit later, since I don't have the time for that in the upcoming few days, but I thought I'd share the above with you before that.
Also, credits go to the same people as before.
Some of my observations so far:

Some of my observations so far:
Regarding the atmosphere types: I made a count, but didn't list percentages and such, because as it turns out, the data is unreliable. Probably a result of journal changes. There are 5000 atmospheres listed as "No atmosphere", but only 1343 planets have a zero surface pressure. 3312 had "Unknown atmosphere" listed, and 962 had the type missing altogether. Still, at least we can tell that airless ammonia worlds are quite rare.
I never did look at this with the ELW data, as I simply removed atmosphere type from there.
Compared to ELWs, AWs are much more varied of course. This is reflected even in the mass code counts: ammonia worlds are spread out across them better than the Earth-likes are, with mass code D only slightly more numerous than code C. The exceptions to this are ammonia moons: those still dominate mass code D.
As could be expected, there are ammonia worlds in mass code H systems, and not just ammonia moons. Compare to Earth-likes, where the only ones that were found in such systems were all moons. A likely cause for that is the moon temperature bug, and that the temperature limits for ELs are much more strict than those of AWs.
The orbital characteristics of ammonia worlds are relatively similar to those of Earth-likes, they can just be farther out. It's odd though how the median orbital eccentricity of ammonia moons is exactly zero.
As for the planetary characteristics, those can be much more extreme than those of the Earth-likes, owing to the much more relaxed limits. If all ammonia worlds were habitable for Thargoids, that would mean they would be far more resilient than we are. Of course, they likely aren't - and I wonder if in the future we won't see these planets divided into "Ammonia World" and "Thargoid World" categories, similar to how WWs and ELWs are.
Fun little tidbit: the farthest AW from the arrival point was 614k ls out, while the farthest ELW was 660k ls. Personally, I would have expected it to be the other way around.
