Timelapse feature doesn't capture other planets, produces black images

Currently, the time lapse feature just captures what happens on the main planet.

When I look at pictures from my new colony, some of the later captures are completely black. I think this is because I was switched over to another planet while it was taking the picture. When switched over to a sub planet, I assume it has to blacks out the original planet (since I think all the planets are on the same map), however doing so also blacks out the time lapse capture.

So the bug; make sure the time lapse feature can always see the main colony, to prevent empty/black screenshots being taken.

And a suggestion; On top of this, I'd really like to track the progress of the sub planets, regardless of which planet I happened to be looking at when it captures the picture. I think it should take screenshots of every planet, and probably add planet name to the saved picture. (Ex. ColonyName_PlanetName_cycle_####.png).

Taking just 1 picture at the highest resolution definitely hangs the game up a bit, and it would only get worse with 6+ planets on the go, but I think the results are worth it.

 


Steps to Reproduce

Start a colony, enable time lapse feature (my res was set at 4098x6144 in case it matters, though I don't believe it does).

Find another planet to switch to while it captures the photo (it captures every cycle up to 50, then every 5 cycles after that)

Review the photos taken, notice completely black images when view was on sub planet.
