| Please post here all of your reports about bugs or crashes in SpaceEngine. Attach to your message a screenshot (if possible) and a log file (it's called the "se.log" and is located in the SpaceEngine's directory). Only the log file will help me to understand your problem and find a solution.

| I have a few interesting new bugs today:
1) A dwarf planet not inside of an asteroid belt. By definition, this should be categorized as a planet, not a dwarf planet.
2) A neutron star was given a surface temperature of less than 2000 K. This seems pretty unlikely, to say the least.
3) In a close binary, when two stars are of different color (makes it noticeable), the smaller star will flicker from its own color to the color of its companion star depending on viewing angle when far enough away (several AU). This animation shows the same system from almost the same angle with the bug in evidence:
4) When editing a planet with a surface texture stored in a file, and when that texture has an alpha channel, and when that planet has a CubeMap bump height map or using Alpha for Water (not ice)*, changing any parameter in the editor results in the following (looks similar in appearance to corrupt atmosphere model):
One of my custom planets:
Earth:
Why they react differently is unknown to me. They both use cubemap textures, both have moons, both orbit a single sun, both have the same clouds, both have the same atmosphere model. The only difference is that Earth orbits a barycenter while my planet orbits the star directly.
* I tested another world with an RGBA file diffmap that had a cylindrical bump map and was using its alpha for ice instead of water, and it didn't have the bug (it was also a moon, which might be significant). So one of those three things might be a critical factor.

Not within the current age of the universe, but even neutron stars cool down eventually, right? it just takes trillions of years before it would reach that point.
As an aside, aren't magnetars (a variant of neutron stars with immensely powerful magnetic fields) also somewhat cooler? Not to the 2,000 K point anyway.

Since the universe is the age that it is, and since SE simulates the present universe, that is a moot point with regards to the bug. But yes, I'm sure it would cool down eventually.

I assume that animation is a triple star system with the blinking one being the close binary? I' know of two similar looking effects like that, but not sure which one is being mentioned here. Could you link the system itself?

| Can anyone find canyons on desert planets? I coudn´t find any, so I guess it´s a bug.
Or maybe this is intentional, I dunno

I'm pretty sure I've found some. I'll try to go hunt for some right now so I can give you a place code.

I think I've found a few myself. They aren't real easy to find

| That cold neutron star looks very cool with real sun brightness turned on. It's very dark with a reddish glow, yet SE says it's magnitude -49.7 up close. 
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

| While attempting to edit a desert planet to produce canyons (none found so far), I noticed an oddity with the distance calculation. When going past 5600 jilometers, it suddendly skips down to the 900's. Same for going up from the surface, it skips 1,000 kilometers and starts at 5600.
Edit: whoop, meant kilometers not meters.

| Ah yes, this also happened to me with Earth. It suddenly skips a few thousand meters when slowly approaching it.
But that was probably already reported.

| I don't think it matters how fast you approach it, anyways, checked a normal unedited planet and same thing.

I meant kilometers, my bad.
Anyways, in my investigation about canyons on desert worlds, I've figured out why. It turns out that desert worlds have canyon fraction set to 0 for some reason, which keeps them from generating canyons.
Edit: I just noticed in the screenshots that the cracks octaves is in the negative for some reason.
Edited desert planet.
Unedited desert world (different world than the first one, although same system).
Terran world (with life, incidentially) for comparison.

That's not a bug, it's a feature; at 1000 km from the surface of a planet it switches from measuring height above the surface to measuring distance from the center, as the HUD clearly states. This has also been discussed on the forum before.
