Overlapping starting systems

Post by Xmudder »

I was having problems zooming in and out to look at planets close up, planets were sometimes there and sometimes not, and the system was sometimes called "Dethanoni" and sometimes called "Vilmuueni"

Turns out these stars are so close that they are actually overlapping visually and interfering with each other, and I can use the skip drive to explore the second system.

Does not seem to be gamebreaking, but it is confusing. Save game attached.

edit: game was started in 1.2.7.1

Thanks. This is a known issue that we're investigating.

They're a software company, they almost certainly have their own QA testers (as well as closed beta testers) that will have channels for reporting bugs that aren't open to the public.

I don't know if this is a similar bug, but in this save there are 4 purple ion storms around one star, Naraz.
this is in addition to there being very few (aka 1) ion storms near my homeworld, Vilmuueni.

Do you know if this star has planets associated with a story world? There are story planets that are supposed to have ion storms and nebulas around them.

There is one such system, Naraz, at the center of the 4 zones, with 4 dormant hive ships. No ruins yet, explorer still exploring.

When you have a chance, please confirm with us if the planet ends up being a story planet.
