Moon biome planets seen to always show up without texture for me, not sure what that's about. Added it to the tracker.
I've just had the same thing. It appeared fine previous, craters and all. I've never had the proto planet bug that's been listed before either.
Well after a few times it actually managed to spawn a regular moon planet so it turns out this is actually the same bug as the "proto planet" bug. Just seems to happen more often than before.
There's a weird issue that, if the random number chose by the planet generator gets JUST right (or wrong), the water level makes the planet do weird things. It's a solveable problem, but we're investigating. In the meantime, it's an end run around the problem to try and find the magic number that works.
semi-spam: The moon, moon, moon, moon where it happens. The moon, moon, moon, moon, please miss captain! Howling from earth. Messages in reverse. It’s complicated. http://open.spotify.com/track/4eesWj1WS2LHAsHqdpJ0rK
Cart before horse. ;-) We need the sim to treat the moon, and other celestial bodies, as different bodies first. Heh.
I tried to play 2 games against the AI (just to check the new changes) and strange enough the planet had also a moon terrain. Kinda fun but without any metal spots a hard place to build an army :mrgreen:
Is this why on zooming out to solar system view the unit icons move planets? That's a "bug" that's been in there since day 1 - is it actually not a bug but incomplete functionality?
My guess is that its just a copy of the planet that your on, the reason why you don't see the units on the moons surface is because the planet has a larger radius or size compared to the moon, so they are floating in space. If the moon was the same size as the planet they would appear on the surface there. So from what i am thinking is that technically your fighting both on the planet and around the orbit of the moon
49900 released! Checking it out now. * New Strategic Icons * Can't build buildings on top of one another (not completely fixed. If you queue them up on top of each other before construction starts, you can still stack them) * Slight changes to the lobby layout * Nuke Launcher build mesh fixed, anti-nuke & catapult not yet. * Commander can't build barriers anymore * Can't see factory base textures through fog of war? * New Build spray effect * Red Range ring/green intel rings now slightly shaded internally too (No balance changes) ? = Haven't tested yet. Fixed: FS#92 - Factory locations visible through Fog of War FS#39 - Buildings have no collision. (But see FS#1433 - Can still stack buildings in .49900 ) FS#834 - Water unit indicators too large FS#131 - Sonar icon missing FS#679 - Sea Barrier uses factory strategic icon. FS#678 - T2 Bomber uses incorrect strategic icon FS#89 - Construction boat has no strategic view/minimap icon FS#58 - Factory wreckages continue to Nanolathe / Animate after death FS#680 - Slammer has T1 bot icon Partly Fixed: FS#1382 - Catapult/Nuke Launcher/Anti-nuke appear as full skin when placing on map
It's actually even simpler than that. The renderer simply render all of the units onto whichever planet the camera is focused on.
