Cracked planets with 0 minerals

So I've decided to crack some planets in my empire for better mineral output... yet, none of the cracked planets has any minerals. I even cracked a barren planet with +2 minerals and now it gives me 0. I've cracked 4 planets by now. Is that a bug or what?

Something about this is mentioned in the patch notes for 2.0.2.

Um... nope. It is said that we can now test-fire on colonizable planets in our empire, but that's it. Nothing about 0 minerals :(
Or maybe I'm just blind...

Only I think habitable planets or inhabited planets will give you minerals guaranteed (I know it said this for against war targets, not sure about uninhabited planets). The others will not. I don't know if it was stated the odds, but it's not very high (some reason 10% is sticking in my head, but completely unconfirmed).

* Broken and shattered planets spawned on galaxy generation can now have deposits

It does not mention cracking planets but it may be related to whatever changes they did for this.

This.

Otherwise you'd be using your Death Star to make yourself a mining god.

Though TBH, I do like the idea of nuking your own worlds so you can be a purely Ringworld empire. Build a Ringworld, resettle all pops on a planet to it, nuke it, build another Ringworld etc.

This is going to be in 2.0.2, they said you'll be able to use the Colossus on inhabitable (but not colonised) planets in your own space. So you could roleplay it being a testfire for the galaxy to see it's power. Or build an intergalactic highway and that planet was in the way.
