Planet map generator usually output in 8bit, which is fine for large scale features, but for small scale, it is not enough, and I know that the planet gen could generate in 16 bit, but the output that is not supported. I need a compiled version of this, since, I cannot compile it my self due to never being able to install any c-compiler w/o error

The map generator uses 24-bit colour (3×8 bits), but limits colour tables to 216  = 65536 different entries.  Most of the predefined colour tables only have 256 or fewer entries, but it is not difficult to define colour tables with more.  For example, Olsson2.col has 607 different entries.

Do you want 3×16 bit colour?  None of the currently supported output file formats support this, so just changing the colour tables to support this will not help.
