Giant planet on galaxy map?

[CompactDisc]

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 can consistently reproduce as well by blowing up a planet with a planet cracker and then zooming out right before or after it actually explodes.

Had this happen during a MP game, I adamantly avoided entering the planet's system so it wouldn't disappear. Though I don't think I terraformed it or anything?

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.

I didn't even know there was an animation for terraforming. Mystery planets solved, I guess, now I know how to get rid of them.

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 think it's linked with perf problems. I have this problem more frequently when the game have some sort of lags.

You can reliably recreate the bug by changing planet type in console "planet_class pc_tropical," then immediately zoom out to galaxy view. Only way to remove that I know of is saving then loading the save.

I had this happen too. I was doing a lot of terraforming so that would seem to jive with what others are saying. It freaked me out for a second first time I saw it .

Most of the time when this happened to me, it was exploding pirate ships

Had it only once for planets, but switching to galaxy view upon ending a battle would have wrecks and monster corpses floating giant on the map. Long time I didn't see this bug though.

I forwarded the issue to the embedded QA on the project.
Let's hope we can have a look at it in the near future.

Still happening according to Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/Stellaris/...me_point_its_just_embarrassing_that_this_bug/

 

[Kypamop]

I've got this bug back in early 1.x versions with dying ship hulls after big battles.
Without any doubt the bug is connected to perfomance drops.
You will have to use some 2400+ savegame on largest galaxy on medium pc with a lot of large fleets moving here and there to reproduce it I suppose. Follow the white rabbit fps drops.

Yeah, i got this bug post 2.0... Never thought it could be thing.

 

[Badesumofu]

Still get this too. I mostly find it amusing. Doubt it’s high on the priority list anyway.
