When loading my game in the new version (0.1.0 release 92), I was presented with no error messages this time, but no visible land either, only the skybox and GUI. I have a new mouse with working zoom wheel now, so that’s not what kept me from getting out of this mode (I was in fact unable to move the camera around in such a way to get back to the game proper, though I could look around at the stars). I did not move the camera prior to this error, it was immediate upon loading.
Screenshot attached.
EDIT: another load and I was eventually able to suddenly spot land, then zoom out and continue my game. I think I did start out with more of a blurry green screen with only the GUI and the instructional camera movement tutorial messages, which was replaced by skybox immediately at the slightest movement. That may have been the case before as well, which would mean I missed it then, but I did think it was skybox right away.
