Please remove invalid admin planets from universe API

German server Zibal has six galaxies. See: s152-de.ogame.gameforge.com/api/serverData.xml

However, in universe.xml s152-de.ogame.gameforge.com/api/universe.xml there exist the following admin planets

<planet id="33620187" player="100004" name="OGame Team" coords="7:250:1"/>
<planet id="33620188" player="100004" name="OGame Team" coords="8:250:1"/>
<planet id="33620189" player="100004" name="OGame Team" coords="9:250:1"/>

which were probably automatically generated when the server opened.

I have not checked other servers.

and exactly what problem can receive if are shown also admin's planets ? It is not possible to attack these planets, but possibile to send resources

from players.xml , you can see what accounts are admins

It's not a problem that admin planets are shown in the API.
The problem is that universe.xml shows data which is not consistent with the server settings.

Zibal-de only has 6 galaxies. Thus, it is impossible to have planets in galaxies 7, 8 or 9.

My guess is that there is a script running when a server is created which simply add planets at 1:250:1 throughout 9:250:1 without checking galaxy count settings. Which is a mistake.
They even show up ingame when searching for the planet name, but clicking on the coordinates redirects to 6:250:1. (because galaxies 7,8,9 do _not_ exist)

Ah, excuse me I didn't see the error. You have right

Thanks for reporting this problem!

Of course you are right, the planets should not exist in galaxies 7, 8 and 9, when the universe only has 6 galaxies.

I forwarded this bugreport and will report back here when I hear anything about it.

Any news about this after six months? Zibal universe API still contains this error.
