Can't Colonize With Robotic Outpost

So in one of my recent games I was trying to colonize with a robotic outpost and I couldn't because the design had no detection and couldn't seethe planets. I solved the problem by creating a new design with a scanner and the outpost part.
I was paying on v0.4.9+ [build 2020-05-19.33c09b6]

Detection range/radar on ships has never helped to see through stealth. Are you sure there wasn't an ion storm that had passed by the time your new outpost ship arrived?

I can't be completely certain, but I don't think so, they're the blue ones right? There were some nebulae and molecular clouds I think, the yellow and orange ones. But the ship wasn't getting any detection at all, like it had no sensor circle at all, not even a little one, so since it was outside of my detection range I didn't have proper visibility to colonize.

I could not reproduce with 33c09b6. I started a new game, researched robotic hulls, built a robotic outpost, sent it solo to a nearby planet out of scanner range of any other ships/planets, and it was able to create the outpost just fine.

Okay, maybe I missed the ion storm, I finally saw one in action and it produced the detection range malus I saw with the outpost ship. My bad.

Next time do not only post, also zip logs and save file and take a screenshot.

I didn't think to report until after the fact, my bad.
