Just a random crash I got while generating an Artica planet with heavy atmosphere.

Before the crash the world, uh, emptied in the Biosphere phase. There was an error box simply saying "error" with no more information.



When I clicked Continue it unsurprisingly crashed. Not sure if it can be debugged just from this.
Edit: Probably shouldn't have posted since unable to reproduce...

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Tough to debug indeed. It rarely happens. Was this a very old Planet as well? It looks like the bug results from maybe having no land hexes?

Yes, something around 5 billion years if I remember correctly. There were land hexes in the Geology phase, but after the Biosphere error message (which didn't have details), the whole landscape disappeared as shown in the screenshot.

Anyway, I tried to reproduce it with similar parameters but couldn't, I assume it's a very rare case.

Had it happen again, this time with a younger planet. Still not much to go on.

You are not using any mods are you?

It might be due to using "restart" in a specific phase
