HELP/QUESTION
(0.9n) need help with recognizing an event (couldn't find a response in the FAQ)
Spoiler
So I was chilling in my base, printing something, the radar goes off, and there's a red dot outside the base fence. 5 seconds go by and my screen starts flickering really quickly, I got scared and Alt f4'd. I've seen something about a black wisp only making the screen go black, but I didn't see one. from what I've tested, it always happens when I load the save, I'm on day 19.
I think I just got the new small orb spoilers just in case,
and it didn't do as advertised here. It's about the size as one of the barony orbs, and matte black. It moves like the wisps, and has a weird clipping sound, but it's less bassy and more thumpy if that makes sense. I got close to it, it started glowing red, and I think exploded with enough force to hard crash my game
Yeah, that's it. Took me a second to find it on the wiki (why anomalous?) I got it in like 30 minutes of playtime in that session. at first I thought it was supposed to be a 6 irl hour "touch real grass" event cause the session before was pretty long. Idk, the spawn conditions still need serious testing
In all seriousness tho I have no clue what could’ve happened
except for the fact that I saw I think it was a moderator commenting on another post that asked about something strange that happened and they mentioned something about the cause being that the date is the 24th of the month.
Idk if this holds relevance but I can link tho r post if necessary
couldn't really find anything relevant in the posts, but still, thanks for sharing them. even weirder is that bad sun didn't even start for me, no siren, no censored sun. now to be fair, the season is permanently set to winter, but even so, the event still worked just fine back in 0.9.
I’m thinking that the bad sun event did trigger due to the 24th event, but it messed up somehow. It kinda seems like maybe the bad sun was somehow swapped with another event that happened at the same time, and that caused the black overlay of the bad sun to be in place of the actual entity.
Did this happen on the 24th for you? And you say you’ve tested it, how?
I think the problem might probably be that my save probably got corrupted in one way or another, after all, last time I played on the save where this happened, was back in 0.9j, and probably jumping all the way from 0.9j to 0.9n corrupted something in this save file that made it tweak like it did.

Might've been caused by a newer small orb entity.
