Nope. It was deleted by me. Within the last 5 minutes. Because it was clearly going to be destroyed by carbonic asteroids :lol:

Thanks for the report however that's working as intended. Deleting a platform just marks it to be deleted later. It still technically exists and can be recovered until that time window expires - and if it gets destroyed before the time window expires it's no longer recoverable.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Well, yeah, I included the 5 minute part because it was clear what was going on. And obviously it can't be actually deleted and then undeleted. But I deleted it so that it wouldn't be destroyed (for peace of mind). Shouldn't it hang around in the places list with a countdown or something? Then I'd have nobody but myself to blame for not hitting the self destruct in time.

It does, it's in the green "un-delete" button in the surface list.
