Hello all,

I've recently used a mod that uses duplicate surfaces of the existing planets, but when on one of these planets and using the command `/evolution` the defined key for the planet name is not recognized by the command.

The Surfaces list registers the name correctly:

And all of the extra surfaces are shown correctly in the Space map:

This is the code from `planet.lua`:

And the `locale.cfg`:

If there is any more information you need, or if I have not done this correctly to tie the new planet name to the `/evolution` command, please let me know! I don't want to clog the request forum!

This was a bug with the evolution command which didn't use the localised name from the planet directly but always tried to use "space-location-name.*planet-name*". It's now fixed for 2.1.

Understood! Thank you!
