Looks to be another depth sorting bug.

But it's weird that it just glitches when orbits are disabled :biggrin:

this has already been reported by PK on the discord server, but he said he was using 1.6.2.2. this bug shouldnt even happen on 1.7.0 since i already reported a similar bug a few months back, and it got fixed for good. are you using the windows installer created by cartrite? if so, that uses a build from february, which was before this bug was fixed (17th of august). you should use the latest master build from here, but unfortunately the latest few builds have a VERY annoying bug
