I have notice that the map does not get updated when you get the "New habitable planet" survey event.
In fact, I used to completely overlook this previously when it occured.
However, I have noticed that if you save the game and then reload, the map tends to get updated with correct icons.
I have seen this happen several times where I would say - "I didn't realize I could colonize that planet" ???
Yep. Same here. What I do as a workaround is to go to the planet tab and sort by level. You should be able to find it fairly easily then. What annoys me is that that planet will invariably be right next to a planet that I already colonized as a core world, making the new planet just a level 24 colony.
