where are the planet city lights?

where are the planet city lights?

i remember in one of the journals and game examples, it was said that planets would have city lights show on them where you've built stuff. I even saw a screenshot of this. I haven't seen any lights on my planets. Has anybody else had this problem or do your planets show city lights? Do you need to be a certain level of technological development for them? I have planets full of research labs, factories, markets etc, no tile is empty, but still no lights

I've only seen it twice. Was wierd when i've seen it too. Like the lights would be in the water, for example.

I've seen it multiple times now. You must: a) Zoom in. b) Rotate and look at the dark side.

I've seen it in the colony viewer, then checked the planet, and it's there. Just make sure you're looking on the dark side and let the planet rotate around. You'll spot them.

No we won't because they aren't there. I'm glad it works for you but don't assume we're all too stupid to zoom in and look at the dark side of a planet.

I wonder how many of you are looking at the splotches on the planet textures that look like clouds and saying "man there are no lights.."

At the right zoom level those white splotches look like a lighted up area, in solid blocks. Zoom to close and they look like clouds rather then lights.

i see the list of features for the new patch is out. In it they add many tweaks and additional features suggested by players. However, I notice they are still pretending this bug doesn't exist. If they have the time to add new features, why the hell aren't they fixing a known bug like this??
