Already Discovered Planets. How does this system work?

[Arxel_z]

I've look for some answers but most of the post are 2 years old. Is there any way to 'unhide' planets that discovered by other players?

I pressed E by accident and now i can't check the information of some planets discovered by other players... How does this thing work? Is it a bad thing for other people to discover stuffs?

What information are you trying to "check"? What do you mean by this? Someone else discovering a planet does not harm your game so what do you mean by "bad"?

If you visit systems discovered by other folks, they will be designated by a red point in your discoveries. No way to remove them from the discoveries list AFAIK.

It is not a bad or good thing that other folks discover things...just the nature of the game. You can get credit for doing your own discoveries on a planet discovered by another player. I think they retain their claim if they were first...but you still get the credits.

If they neglected to discover flora and fauna on a planet, you can discover it first and actually get the 100%...at least I have in a couple of situations where it was obvious they were jetting toward the center and were unlikely to return.

While I can't verify it, lore is that they will also get credit for the 100% if you complete the series on a planet where they left it partially explored.

When you press TAB while using the Galaxy Map, that will display any nearby systems already discovered by you or other players. They will be displayed with white rings I think around the star and words like 'contact'. Those systems discovered by other players will also appear in your Discoveries list. Hiding them again will subsequently only remove their display from the galaxy map screen to make it less cluttered with white circles or words like 'contact' from showing.

Ok, the situation is like this;

Im on my base planet, on the system i started at. There is 4 planets and a moon. I discovered all 3 planets and the moon except for one that were discovered by other player. That planet is ticked with red dot, while others are yellow.

Now i'm building my farm, so i wanted to check the special plants that grow on planet on the discoveries menu. I can left click on the 'yellow' planet to see their information (solanium, copper, phosphorus etc) But when i click on the red one, nothing happened. No information is shown. (probably because i pressed 'hide')

Its a problem to go out to space and look at the planet and scan it every time i want the info... I did try to land to that planet so i could rediscover it for myself but still the problem persist.
