Hi there,
I wanted to tell you that during my gameplay I have noticed several strange phenomenon.
Some of which seems like bugs but they might just be something else.
The pictures are pretty big, I added a direct link to the image to be sure you can see it properly.
First is that Shadows do not form properly in eclipse
As seen in this picture, The moon is in total eclipse, About at the same height than the ISS, It does look out of place.

It is pretty hard to see but there are many line like this to different places

I try to make the earth more massive than a black hole to suck everything to it but the simulation just stop and don't want to play again.
The game is fine but it is just on hold or something.
I tried to do the same with the sun, I locked the Radius and added a few digit to the mass but the same happen, It become all black with a white outline and the simulation stop.
Everything around the Sun just stop existing as they were.

It look like this.

Next is that when i try to modify the Height or the orbit of an object orbiting a planet ( I only tried with several object I put in orbit around the Earth )
Then it move the object very close to the sun.
I tried to add a Pool Ball at the same height as the ISS, once I modified the Height or any orbital proprieties, it teleported itself near the sun with random values.
Next is a climate Bug, I like the feature that if the Planet is lock on the sun, the other half get frozen but what is weird with this is that if i reduce the rotation (time of a day ) to 364 days so it is not perfectly lock, Then all the ice melt and will never freeze again, and the planet will follow it's normal circle.
It would be far more interesting if it was dynamic and a too long period of night will actually change the temperature. I think at least 30-40 days should be all right.
I don't have anything else to report right now, But it seems that I can not load " Earth and 5000 Moons" simulation, The game just froze and I had to shut it down with the Task manager.
