A bit odd perhaps, at least Ii haven’t run into this.

Planets in uncharted systems have no structures. However if you use a portal to travel to a planet in an uncharted system, a Portal will generate. I spent a good deal of time trying to portal to this world, and some other worlds in the same system. I’ve double-checked the glyphs several times. In all cases I get the address error, approximating. I’ll end up in a different system around the same distance from the core every time.

I swear I’ve done this to generate a portal on uncharted worlds before. Did I not have enough coffee today? Has this been “patched”? As it is I portalled to a bunch of other systems anyways, so got a functional portal base for this galaxy. On to the next.

    There are limitations to the algorithm.

    Some systems are invalid portal targets. It’s an infinitesimally small quantity, compared to the size of a galaxy. And it’s a known thing.

      TIL! Well, I guess my galaxy transit was delayed by a valid rarity! Well, I plunked down a base there, so I’ll consider it an addition to my collection of rarities.
