Is this supposed to happen? (versoin 1.11 bug)

on the huge random map, two planets can spawn on top of each other

November 30, 2008 10:59:48 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I just got sins a few days ago and have been playing it constantly ever since.  I just played my first game on the huge random single star system map and the strangest thing happened; I had two distinct planets created almost right on top of eachother. The gravity wells overlaped, and while they are seperate (ships still must phase jump between them), I can still see the other planet and whatever ships the enemy has there.pic of bug (2)pic of bug (3)

This not realy a bug at all, since this a random large map every planet distance is different every time you play it, this time the unit number put two planets very close together, this had happened to me before but no this close. From what I am gues the devs need to make a patch specifies minumin numbers so there not this close.

Suppose I should have searched first... Oh well.

 

is there anything else I should do for this report?

 

also, I don't have a picture, but am I supposed to be able to see the bombardment animation on a planet I don't have line of sight on?  the pirates raided that asteroid in the picture, and even a minuet or two after I retreated, I could see the planet being bombarded.

 

also, those green ships in the second picture weren't in the gravity well of the planet I controled (they weren't attackable), but I could see them just fine.

Yeah, it is just a quirk of the random generator that it sometimes stacks planets.  I think it doesn't happen as much anymore, but it certainly does happen sometimes, especially with some of the custom random maps.  It IS pretty annoying.

This was a single player game if anyone still cares.
