    Diffraction spikes shine through solid stuff, like mountains. Here's an example without 'em:

    Switch spikes mode to "norm"

    Let's move away, though. Soon, it's clear we're not using spikes. The star remains a luminous ball at the center of the screen, as it should. But then, it stards changing colour. First, it becomes somewhat orangey:


    Are you sure there is no orbital path line or barycenter mark in front of the star? Disable orbits drawing. What do you see?

    Norm? You mean "simple" at the settings table? Or is it something in configuration files?

    If you mean simple, then it has no effect. Evidence:

    Yep. Pretty sure. There are no barycenters there - it's a single star.

    The same. I noticed this without orbits showing, only added them to provide a sense of scale to the images.

    I've also tried this with several other stars and, although the distance at which they disappear and reappear varies (the less massive the star the closer it disappears and the further away it reappears), they all do. Or maybe not all: I didn't try it with a truly ultraluminous star. I did try it with singles and multiples, and multiplicity has no effect.

    No, he means "normal". Change the spikes setting to normal.

    I tried to find this bug but I couldn't reproduce it. I've never seen it before in this version.

    Now where would that normal setting b... oh!

    Would you believe me if I told you I had never noticed there was an intermediate stop between simple and super? LOL. Silly. So yeah, it works. Only with simple it doesn't, apparently.

    I don't know all the technical reasons, but I do know that the lens flares are programmed to behave in the way that they currently do for a reason. SpaceEngineer would have to comment on that.

    Well, I'm afraid these transparency issues are not just a question of using the wrong spikes' settings. I'm seing stars through some asteroids with all settings. Here's an example.

    This is with super spikes:



    The asteroid is illuminated from above by a very luminous blue star, but the system includes a G star, which is right behind it, so it shoudn't be seen. However, it shines through the asteroid at the upper right.

    This is the exact same scene with normal spikes:



    As you can see, no discernible difference.

    And this is with simple spikes:



    The star isn't there, as it shoudln't be. It does, however, shine through the asteroid once I rotate it enough for the star to be off the base sphere, nearer the surface. With the other two settings, however, the star shines through the whole asteroid. Attenuated (and I add below a fourth image with it shining off the asteroid, to compare the spikes' strength), but shiny.



    This is a rare bug. I haven't noticed it happening with any other stars, and it doesn't even happen with all the asteroids I placed around this particular star. It seems to require a specific combination of luminosities to happen.

    NEJsit, you need to update/reinstall your graphics driver.

    I've found a very odd terrain gen bug. While flying around a desert moon trying out a shuttle, the entire planet began to get covered in these odd spiky mountains.

    IN this case the Star is 2MASS J04551048-6820298, also known as http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOH_G64

    same happened with S Doradus, near it.



    Check this. The star is the one light on the right. The left is..... a bug. Clicking on it has no change and it's not a binar system.

    Graphic bug ?

    I've got the same bug ; there's a "ghost" star (lens flare), around catalog stars far from the sun. Tne more the star is far from the sun, the more this ghost lens flare is flickering.
