Colonization slots missing and planets vanishing

[Sfcactionjax7]

First, I want to say that the new colony feature in Elite Dangerous has been a joy to play. Over the past two weeks, I’ve made great progress as the System Architect; however, I recently encountered what seems to be a bug.


I'm working in system ICZ MC-U B3-0 as the System Architect. When I first colonized the system, I had 14 slots for Orbitals/space installations and 22 slots for Settlements/Hubs. The system originally had 13 planets, with 12 being landable.


As of March 10th, after completing a Science Outpost, I noticed several issues:

• The available build slots for both space and surface structures have disappeared.
• Five planets in the system are now missing.
• The remaining available sites display question marks on the Architect screen.
• After completing multiple structures, no tier-building points were rewarded.

I attempted to log out and back in, but there was no change. I also waited a couple of days to see if the issue would resolve itself, but the problem persists.

Has anyone else encountered something similar?

lemme guess, you got blown up recently? And you didn't turn in the exploration data for your system after you scanned it down the first time?


Goto the system's, nav beacon, drop out of SC, target it and scan it, that should give you the map to the system.

BTW, you can do this for any system that has a nav beacon, they actually DO something.

I am the System Architect, and what I am talking about has to do with a few of the Orbital slots, settlement slots, and planets no longer showing up on the system map. It's not an exploration thing.

It looks like a thing with missing exploration data for your system, though.

I see, that's strange though because I explored the system before I dropped the colonization beacon two weeks ago. Thank you both for the insight and I will look into this.

Exeider and HansAcker, you both called it. I rescanned the Nav beacon, and everything shows up on the map again. Again, thank you both.​

yeah I know. But the system map which the Architect system uses as a base is tied to the system scan..... for reasons.... of some kind.....that shall remain a mystery.....

Exploration data isn’t permanent until it is sold to UC.
