Please add a link to this so that we can find the planet. It makes no sense to say that we find a map, but don't know where the planet is. When I search the nearby systems I never find it. It's always farther away than a simple search of my ships current location can reveal.
I agree. I find it either by checking if my "advisors" are telling me to colonize this new planet, or, failing that, by going to the planets list and scrolling down to the uncolonized planets and searching for it there.
Thanks for the tip. An advisor was pointing me to the new planet. This would be a much better tip on the "Survey Report" than the current tip. Especially since the new planet was "NOT" in a star system nearby to my current location, it was all the way back in my home sector.
Another way to find it is to save the game, exit the game, then reload the game. The "new" planet will be visible. I believe this is another one of those bugs where something happens (in this case a new planet is supposed to be available) but the graphics are not updated until the next turn.
On the good side, they appear to have modified the code so that the window that announces that a civ has been defeated now appears immediately after the civ is defeated and not on the next turn.
I got this today and it centered itself on the planet it was talking about after I clicked ok. In my case I had already discovered the planet so the Fog of War was already cleared. Maybe this just is inconsistent?
I tried the restart trick because I remember you saying something about it in another thread, but I still couldn't find the new planet. Probably because it was so far away from where the text said it would be.
I think you just got lucky. I've never had it reveal the new planet, which is why I keep complaining about it
I've had an event generated planet revealed that way just once. Every other time the map does not jump, the planet remains displayed as a dead world, and I have to search for it. I can't swear that the time it worked was the same event. Are there two or more events that reveal planets like this?
Seems it's always hiding behind a star, usually a system that has been colonized or 'core'd.' Have to zoom in to find it and it takes a while
That's exactly what happened to me. Without Publius of NV's tip I may never of found it.
Dang near drove me batty 'til i figured it out!
