Summary0024003: Intermittent trouble sending units to some planets via the map screen
DescriptionSometimes commands to move to a certain planet on the map screen just don't register. Ordering units to an adjacent planet and through a wormhole there works. I haven't been able to find a pattern, but it's temporary - which planet or planets are affected varies with time.

Attached is save file where sending units to the planet Troublemaker (located in the upper right section of the map) via the map screen doesn't work. This issue persists across multiple loads and restarts of the program.

The game's running on version 2.617 as of this report, but the game the save file is from was started in an older version. I'm also using custom planet names mentioned some time previously.

I've also been having intermittent issues switching from the map screen to view certain planets. Again, moving the camera through a wormhole on an adjacent planet works.

I am unthrilled to report that in that save, Troublemaker is toggled to not have ships path through it. And go figure, I don't have a save handy where House of Silence, the previous planet to have this issue, was having this issue.

I don't see any attached save? I was just going to try to verify the issue on my end, but it doesn't appear there is any file attached to this issue.

I found I was unable to use the galaxy map to send units or move the camera to the planet Midnight Sun. I made a save, but the problem did not persist past restarting the game and loading the save. Here is it anyway in case you have a use for it.

The problem reoccurred with the same planet. I was able to observe that the problem persisted past save-and-quitting to the main screen and loading the save, but not past restarting the game and loading the save.

Drip, drip, drip, goes the data about an elusive bug. This time I reached 20k combined strength in threat + attacking AI ships, and as the AI hordes poured from the superterminal planet and spread across the lands, I found the selection problem affecting numerous planets simultaneously. As usual, saving, restarting the game and reloading the save fixed it.

Thanks!

* Should finally have fixed the super annoying bug where sometimes a planet on the galaxy map is un-clickable. We did this by making sure that the collider box for the planets is now way taller than anything else, and so things like the links between planets can't accidentally override them.
** On the off chance that somehow the collider was actually being turned off for the planet icon, we actually are now always making sure that is on every frame, too.
** If you were seeing some sort of other tooltip for something but unable to click the planet, and you see the problem again, please let us know what the tooltip is for. If you were seeing no tooltip at all, then that was probably the collider being disabled in some fashion. We do turn off the colliders for icons that are supposed to be off, but that should never affect planets. If it was affecting a planet icon previously, that should no longer affect a planet icon.
