planetary impact caused bad bug

[Siggy]

When I just left the starbase in the Uyamag-Sughv system, I got hit by a planetary impact. My ship was shaking and I could not get away from the starbase. Finaly I died by a planetary impact.
I found my ship now in the starbase, but all my cargo was gone. When I flew out I found my grave just inside the starbase wall. No chance to get my stuff back. But the worst effect was: all star systems and my bases were now 100 000 LY more away from the heart of the galaxy.
Has anyone had this problem before? Must be an awful bug.

reload your game, hit ESC and from there load your MANUAL save.
Yes it will probably put you back in time and you'll lose some hours of gameplay (maybe or maybe not, depending on how often you used a save point or you activate those posts at POI)

Death overwrites only the automatic save from when you exit your ship.
Hence manual save should be safe.

What is a planetary impact? I have never heard of this.

Only experience I have had that sounds similar is when you run your ship into one of the large trading centers when leaving. Especially for larger ships, it is pretty easy to whack the top as you exit.

While I have always gotten out of the mess, I could imagine getting caught up and dying before you can get free.

Not sure how this would change your location and all your base locations in space. How close were they before?

Definitely use your save to put things right and use care around the trading centers.

Resetting with manual storage showed a further 100,000 LY greater distance from the center of the galaxy, and I would have lost 24 hours building work for my new base.
In 3 years and 1000 hours of playing time I have not experienced that yet. The loss of material in 38 stacks of my hauler is not that important, you get that fast again.
It's either a very rare event, or it was a server reset.
The message said: You died by a planetary impact.
A planetary impact is actually a cosmic catastrophe.

Huh, I never got that one, but "Terrain – Death by catastrophic planetary impact" is indeed in the list of dataminded dialog text: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Death

Your description reminds me of another post where someone said he warped in very close to a planet that had not loaded properly, and after it had loaded, the terrain popped up around him. Maybe that's what happened.

Or you were too close to a space station that had not loaded fully, and after it loaded, you intersected with its position?

its probably the same thing that happens when you fall through the terrain and die, but if you're in your ship, the gravesite is in space. try jumping off one of your frigates sometime, you die and your grave goes where???

Tough break. At least it wasn't perma death, which happens to me sometimes...
