    Ok I copied this from my reddit post but someone told me the forums would be a better place to look:
    Me and a friend settled on a planet but every time I look away from the sun everything goes dark but if i look back its light. It doesnt matter whtas in the way as long as the sun is in frame behind it. What setting is this thats effecting it. If not a setting then how do I fix it? Please help its really annoying
    Edit: ita only for me not for my friend but we have almost identicle settings aside from just a few
    Edit 2: it goes away if I press C on something to select it or it I'm inside a build block

    I'll simply state: do not settle on planets. They are not stable. Youtubers do it because it gives them views. Generally speaking (well, in my experience at least), it is NOT a good idea to settle planets with online servers.

    Also, they're pretty borky!

    - but hopefully somebody will have a more specific answer to your question (which ill guess is shader related somehow?!?)

    Also, the current planets are a place holder for something better that is (allegedly) on the way

    You are using release build?
    What are your hardware specifications ? (GPU most importantly)
    Please add your settings.cfg (from the starmade install folder) to your answer ... i will check if it happens on my system then too
