This is weird, for many exo planet i have visited, i always use the same stack of atlas over and over and never had this issue. I am on pc. Idk if it could be console related.
I’ve had the same issue you have, a few times, when I tried to reuse them for a new exo. It seems like every once in awhile they need a little help to “refresh”.
When it does that, I do one or more of the following, until it’s reusable:
Remove any resources I put on it
Move it around in my inventory - if it’s in a stack, put it in it’s own space. Put it in storage, then take it out.
Put a different resource on it
Take it out of my hand then put it back in my hand.
I stick them on a bunch of shelves and hope they desync. It’s a pretty annoying bug. I’ve accidentally gone to an exo with a couple of “offline” atlases before. User error I guess, but still annoying.
Could we at least get a different icon for offline worlds?
