that's odd, especially since the mining colony has:

Code: Select all

locationCriteria=	"+asteroids,--frost,--ice"
Should it be ++asteroids for "always near asteroids"?

Is it possible there's one asteroid smaller than the green dot? :P

There is a 2% chance that a system will place a friendly station in a void location. It was just ironic that it was a mining station because, obviously, there are no asteroids...

but no, it's not a bug.

But that /is/ a bug, if trivial

Not really. Every asteroid station has at least one asteroid: the one it's jutting out of.

Must be something incredibly valuable in that one.

I thought it was always since those asteroids were just large enough to make a base in once all hollowed out.

That is one random-ass station though.

I found a fuel depot in the same situation nothing around it, anywhere, so I suppose it WOULD be a good place to make a gas station...
