station builder visual bug

[Torus]

Anyone have an issue with station in plan build disappearing when looked at with certain angles?

[Ketraar]

I had seen this during beta but not seen it for a while now. Can you say if it happens with any module or a specific one and if the later which one?

all modules...the entire station disappears...tried it with multiple stations too

[Torus]

I think its part of distance rendering...this happens when background of sector is on

[Ketraar]

It was common for small modules (1-connector) to vanish if you're looking from afar. Not for all of them, only for some. Not sure if that was addressed. Teladi 1-connectors did this often.

In my currently playthrough I am using primarily terran modules

it is possible there's too many modules to render on one screen, but I don't recall having this issue before the patch, and I do go into plan build a lot

BTW, it doesn't matter how zoomed it is

Old bug.
I had this happening way before this update.
You can check my screenshots of PHQ.
When taking a shot from above the bottom modules all dissapear

[Torus]

If that's the case it may not be a bug...just need to change which modules disappear first, which the stations not being edited should.

[Ketraar]

Dont think you can change that, the render distance is set per module iirc and some module typs will fade away sooner then others. Unless my memory is completely fried I think connectors have the lowest.

Ok, so it is by design.

Then I vote for a screenshot mode where temporarily everything gets rendered (if possible)
Either in the station designer or your current universe.
So we can still make full screenshots of our creations.

That would be awesome.

Well you can try a "hack" of sort if you like.

Find the config.xml file and there look for <lodfactor>1.00</lodfactor> (number can change depending on your setting).

1.00 is the equivalent to 100% and you can set it up to 2.00. The downside of this is that this will make the Graphics Settings menu not open anymore, so do this at your own risk.
