Settlements Causing Planet Disappearance

Settlements Causing Planet Disappearance

For a while now, there has been the odd Settlement Deployment that has caused the parent planet to simply vanish from the Navigation screen. You could still access the planet using the names on the right of the nav screen, but the planet itself was invisible’. It’s never been a major thing and more of an annoyance. We currently have 274 settlements deployed out of a decade and a half lifetime deployment of 694. Of those, only a handful have caused the issue.

The fix was a little finicky and always made me search the code for the unfound answer. Today the issue did it again, so I decided to take a much deeper look. I found not so much the cause, but a clear way to resolve it in future. So I have applied that fix. Now, due to how CE was originally laid down in the Database, it means that you MAY find the odd ‘double Jump Gate appear’ in some systems.

If you find these please let me know either here in the forums, or in Discord chat or via an in game PM. I just need confirmation you can ‘see’ two jump gates in a system (image wise). Both will form the same function, so there is no issue using either.

I look forward to your reports…
