Moon does not render in map view or during in-flight approach

[NEODIMIO]

Hello, I would like to report an issue that occurs specifically with the Moon not rendering correctly.


This happens on a completely clean, unmodded installation, and I have reproduced it consistently on v2025.11.5.2829.


What I expected to happen
The Moon should render normally both in the map view and when orbiting it with a spacecraft.


What actually happens

• In the map view, the Moon is not visible at normal zoom levels.
• The Moon only appears if the player zooms out a very large distance.
• When orbiting the Moon with a spacecraft without the map open, the Moon also fails to render completely.
• Other celestial bodies do not show this issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch the game normally.
2. Load any environment that includes the Moon (Earth + Moon or the full Solar System).
3. Open the map and attempt to zoom in on the Moon → the Moon does not render unless zoomed out significantly.
4. Fly a spacecraft toward the Moon and try to orbit it without the map → the Moon does not render at all.
