    Hi,
    I just played PA for the first time and I'm happy that it is already so good :)

    But directly from the beginning on I noticed a problem with some metal spots where I couldn't build extractors on. The spots are the green dots, right? On the most it worked but on some it didn't.
    I noticed, that some of them were close to a cliff or something and tried to build it with air builder, but this also didn't work.
    Is this a bug or was it my fault?

    Thanks

    I hope it is fixed soon :/ that caused me a lot of grief whenever I played my first game, three of the six metal deposits near me were inaccessible (it was a metal planet and they were all inside of a trench, yet appeared to be floating in the air).

    This issue seems to be when the metal extraction points are directly adjacent to anything with a drastically different height (i.e. crevasses, mountains, craters). Some sort of check should be implemented in planet generation to determine whether or not the extraction point is too close and either bump it out a bit or pick a new point if it is.
