What's with this giant planet on my galaxy map? Just a bug? In any case, made me laugh.

Yeah it's a bug, lol.
That's the best one yet though!
I had a space battle continue when I came out of system view and into galaxy

New end game crisis confirmed! Mega planet from the depths of space ploughs though the Galaxy!
New game crisis: 1.000 tiles planet for you to manage.

In my case that same planet always appears in every single star system I zoomed in lol.
I have seen this in the past (in one case it actually happened to a space dragon!), but I never managed to find a proper repro case for it.
If you got one, please let me know!

I have it happen a lot when a planet is doing the teraforming graphic and I zoom out to the Galaxy map while it's in the process of it
This includes blowing a planet up
Aye, my suspicion is that it is something related to (re)-rendering 3D objects (or their animations?) while changing between system and galaxy view, but again - I have never been able to reliably reproduce the issue.
I got it when I went to galaxy view at the end of the battle and there were exploding ships on the galaxy view (but only the dead, exploding ships, not the rest of the fleet).Aye, my suspicion is that it is something related to (re)-rendering 3D objects (or their animations?) while changing between system and galaxy view, but again - I have never been able to reliably reproduce the issue.
If I were to guess, animations that start at system view are not hidden when going to galaxy view.
This used to happen to me a lot in the very first days of the game - not just with planets, but with ships too.Aye, my suspicion is that it is something related to (re)-rendering 3D objects (or their animations?) while changing between system and galaxy view, but again - I have never been able to reliably reproduce the issue.
I don't know how to preproduce it with 100% seccess but I have a feeling it happens when you zoom in at something (for me it often happened with fleet battle), pause the game and then jump to the galaxy map view - when you look carefully you can ususally find things the things that were in the battle (laser beams, wrecks etc.) in the scale they were shown in the system when you had it zoomed. I've never payed much attention to it because once I entered any system and went back to galaxy map, it dissapeared again.
Benn a while since I got the bug actually! But I remember a patch or two ago I frequently got Dimensional Horros lingering in amped up size on the galaxy map. Was somewhat freaky
I once had a similar bug where an explosion animation appeared on the galaxy. It scared me when suddenly the entire galaxy exploded.
As far as I know, giant planets mostly happen after terramorphing and colossus using. When planet changing animation is played.Aye, my suspicion is that it is something related to (re)-rendering 3D objects (or their animations?) while changing between system and galaxy view, but again - I have never been able to reliably reproduce the issue.
I KNOW WHAT CAUSES THIS! Or at least one of the many causes. If I am terraforming a world and when the terraforming completes, if I leave the system view before the animation to change the planet into its new type is finished then the planet will end up on the galaxy map. Going back into the system view of that particular planet removes it from the galaxy view.
Excellent!
Could you actually file a proper bug report for that in the sub forum?
When done, I'll poke the embedded at the first opportunity.

I dont actually have a save of it to give, but the issue should be easy enough to replicate, I've done it several times to doublecheck. Posting a bug report now.
This actually also happend with exploding planets in apocalypse. I dont know it it fixed now, but if you left the system while the planet was still exploding you would get the glowing start frame of the planet in every view (galaxy, every system)
