Other question: Searching for Sathium on a large Ice-Planet. Re-constructed a Derelict Base there - why does the Snow there behave like rock surface? When using the Drill in Resource mode I get a ton of crushed Rocks from cleaning a surface layer of Snow..? Was there not a Bug report AND a proposed fix for placing Blocks on the Ground but you could not sink them into it? Above you see my try to place a Block in SNOW - want happen! Next Picture I first had to remove some SNOW(Rock) with the Drill before able to place the Block
Some of the snow textures give crushed stone. Don't ask me why though. If you can, could you let me know if that's a Snow planet or an Ice planet, and what biome you found that snow in? I thought they had fixed that unable to place blocks in terrain bug too.
Ah that's the default snow planet. Hmm no idea why the snow texture was giving crushed stone. It might be a bug. I'll play around with it a bit and submit a bug report if so.
Hah! I think I know what's going on. I think that planet was set to spawn 0-2 tiny deposits. It seems it will display it on the sector map even if it doesn't spawn any. The sector map must just check if there's an ore deposit listed in the playfield, since it has no way of knowing how many of that deposit there actually are. I'll probably just remove the erestrum cause it's a starter planet anyway.
Good Boy! Btw. it seems to happen on more than one Planet. The Sector Map lures you to the Planet for the Erestrum or Zarcosium while the Planet itself don't know anything about it. Happened on the "Mire" Planet too.
Okay I fixed it. The swamp and mire planets now always have at least 1 erestrum deposit, and the swamp starter won't have any. Though no ETA on the update. If you find it happening on any other planets let me know. Thank you again. I always look forward to your comments on this! It does really help out.
Supposed to be fixed in experimental. Not sure if the change will be retroactive or not. Also affected some of my own POIs.
For example, this blueprint has an offset of -1, so it should be buried half a block into the ground, yet it decides to float midair.
Well...I read now several times about..Building close to a lake and now is Water in my Basement... and such. BUT THAT is a bit ridiculous. Don't you agree? Distance to the next open water more than 100 m hovering above the small Copper Deposit of which I already removed 40% A closer look
Another Joke about "Floating" POI's I removed the Basement in the hope it would come crushing down...

Actually I did not. But if the new Water behavior now builds a layer of Groundwater beneath the surface in a certain depth... I would call this a new level of realism!
