Players exploring planets for biological signals have reported a bug causing unexpected permit requirements that block landing. One commander experienced disconnection mid-exploration and upon return found their vehicle stranded 117km above the surface, unable to land due to a new permit notification. Attempts to recall the vehicle failed, indicating a potential glitch affecting exploration flow. This issue disrupts gameplay by halting progress and may represent a new or resurfacing bug impacting planetary exploration activities as of September 2026.
