I was exploring a star system, surveying planets, and found 5 planets in a row to have "nothing of interest," no environmental modifiers, no ores or other resources, etc. I am unsure if this is a randomly generated star system or not, as it is right at the boundary of the core worlds.

Sorry about my post on the nebula bug, I'll try to make sure to make sure potential bugs I find haven't already been reported/ solved before posting my own thread.

The system is Penepole's star, it does appear to be a handcrafted system. It makes sense for these unpopulated core worlds to be somewhat devoid of resources, but even "Thrinakia," a molten world close to the star, lacks modifiers such as "extreme heat" or "tectonic activity."

Scripted worlds are all devoid of modifiers which I assume is an oversight. At the very least they should have things like "no atmosphere", "low gravity", etc.

Also Derinkuyu has no modifiers/resources either. You would think a mining base would at least have metal.

Ah, yep, that looks like a bug. I think it came up in another thread since it's already on my list but I don't think it was reported here. In any case, I appreciate the report! Would rather have duplicates than have an issue go unreported :)
