Description
Above ground anomalies and resources appearing in the underground making them un-reachable


Windows

What is your game version?

What DLC do you have installed?
Space Race, Green Planet, Below and Beyond, Stellaris Dome Set, Marsvision Song Contest, Colony Design Set, Project Laika, In-Dome Buildings Pack

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I was trying to do the Spheres mystery and the anomaly wasn't appearing. I waited in case it was triggered by time played/colonists maybe but that is not the case. The scan to start the mystery is in the underground and in an unreachable place so that mystery is completely shut off to me now. Complete waste of a day but it also is happening with resources. Concrete being the easiest to figure out as it leaves the yellow terrain colour there but the icon is in the underground. I used to love this game.

Can you replicate the issue?

I met similar issue. Like in every playthrough with underground concrete site from surface appear in underground immediatly after sector has been scanned. But once happened situation when concrete site moved both directions: from surface to underground and from underground to surface (sector on surface is unexplored).

Edit: I find out that this happens after sector on surface scanned but at that moment you have active underground map. Like concrete deposit stick to active map despite of on which map it was found. But this hypothesis can not explain why it concrete deposits from underground appear on surface. On other side metal and rich metal deposits never changed maps. Metals (both ordinary and rare) also appear on asteroids while concrete don't. Probably this difference somehow related to this bug?

Terrain used to be mined from the texture, they changed it in a later update to use the icon (like how metals work), odd stuff still happens here and there (like this issue).
As for the wrong map for concrete, the new devs never updated TerrainDepositMarker:SpawnDeposit() to use the correct map, but you can use my "Fix Deposits Wrong Map" mod for concrete deposits (it might also work for anomalies...?).

I haven't heard of the anomaly for spheres mystery being there before, so it might be "luck" from OP? I don't suppose you still have the save file?
