My "tidally-locked" planet doesn't appear to be following the rules for such a planet. The scan reports that it is tidally-locked with the star, but the star moves around in the sky anyway. I tested this by parking in a spot and screenshotting the star's location. After a couple of days I logged back into the game -- and the sun was over the horizon. Tried it again, this time sitting on the equator (thinking there might be a wobble), but the star moved quite a bit again after a few hours. A bit frustrating, because the main reason I chose the system was the tidally-locked planet. Anyway, so I've punted, and laid down the groundwork for a colony settlement, which I'm building now.
