Can't enter planets, just black void

[TheLastSeeker]

I used the vid tutorial and pressed B to lock onto a space but when it warps in the entire area is black, flying into the planet just goes inside it to see the black sphere.

yes me too some planets when you warp in is everything black and when i try to fly feels like im inside planet core

[TheLastSeeker]

main issue is i'm getting this within the first quest to enter a planet so really it kinda destroys the whole game feel cause i literally can't progress anything nor land anywhere but space stations currently.

[Stebetojas]

try another untill you fing good one did that , early acess games with so much content have problems , but for me its fine this game have huge future

[TheLastSeeker]

it's not about finding one that does, it's about the fact i'm trying to complete the first few main missions, the stuff that starts me off in the first place, before i get out on my own. Problem is that i haven't found ANY that do work after the bug.

Hello there. This is a known issue - a fix was applied for most cases, but some players seem to still encounter it. This report will be attached to the existing issue on the devtracker.

For now, it would be better to reload a previous save prior to descending on the planet, and retrying the descent. If the issue persists, sending us that save can be really helpful, as this issue is difficult to fix given that we can never reproduce it personally.

Thanks for the report!

i'll give a reload a go, i did that already when i first got the bug then even restarted the game but i think my reload point was still too close to the planet for it to fix itself, once you get into the bug zone i feel it just keeps it stuck in t hat cycle as too close to trigger a planet being there, kinda like you can't touch the thing if inside it even if i was able to warp away and back it kept doing it, i guess it's something to do with the event trigger for flying into a planet not firing due to unknown circumstances like it can't trigger when inside the planet but once that triggers it doesn't reset such event.

When I encountered this I ended up having to exit the system I was in. Save. Reload game. Then reenter the system and try again to get it to actually fly to a location on the planet surface instead of inside the planets core. Annoying but its a work around until the matter gets properly fixed.

they may be able to fix it kinda with a single gate per planet then quicktravel to locations on planet from there or when entering the gate you could select one to fly over to? saves the whole dive in from anywhere but the main issue i found was when you warp into the planet it counts you as obstructed entirely from anywhere so since you're in the planet or such it stops you getting anywhere else. This may be how the bug is? basically triggering the dive too late and thus being too close to warp into the planet? Thus removing the planet as a collision could fix this?

I've been struggling with this bug for two days. It was in the middle of the main quest "Fixing up". So I couldn't do anything but Freelance Mission and so on. I've tried everything. Loaded my savegame again and again and tried again and again to land on a planet. I kept ending up under or next to a city structure.
But then I noticed something. The destination I was supposed to fly to on the planet had a different name than in the quest description. So I just tried to load the savegame from the last checkpoint, which is always saved automatically. So I was at a previous step in the quest and completed it again. Then flew to the planet again and this time the name of the destination on the planet matched the name in the quest. I was finally able to land on the planet.

So it looks like the game wrote a wrong destination for the event in the log and since it doesn't exist I wasn't able to land on the planet.

I hope this message will help someone. Above all, the Def. Hope he recognizes the error better now.

Had this. Had to reload previous save. Would recommend many saves in this game

Got this bug today for the early mission, too. Jumping out of the system, save and reload, and then jump back in does fix it for me.

If you have access to the console, you can use the "teleport to random surface point" button to fix this issue. Gaining access to the console is quite easy, although you will need to download a German layout for your keyboard

If you do decide to use the console, you can download the layout in the language settings of your windows settings, from there click "Add a language" and search for German. Once you've done that, go in game and press Windows + Space to switch to the German layout and press CTRL + [ to gain access to the console.

As of now theres no bind for any other layouts except German, although I'm sure this could be changed if someone unpacked the game.

This part of the game needs to be SCRAPED FOREVER....is totally janky and hit/miss CONSTANTLY.....just make it so you warp to planet and its automatically puts you at the base rather than warping into the stupid core of the planet or just some black space of nothingness

It doesn't need to be scrapped, its just buggy.

the best idea i had already which is make planets unable to block positioning as once you're inside you can't warp out easily at all, if they made the planets able to be warped through then added a single gate entry to the planet like freelancer did then you'd basically just warp to gate, fly through then fly around the planet using the same warp to basically just move around the surface. You'd expect somewhat a space faring civ would have something like a port in space or some sort of facility to check ships entering the planet or such. Basically the welcome centre
