Main planet structures extremely rare?

    Before the angry koala update every planet had it's big dungeon/village/laboratory and so on. Now i can't find any of them. i keep finding small buildings, ruins and stuff, but the main "attractions" seem to be gone. Is my universe broken or is it normal and i have to keep on searching?

    I've noticed the same thing. I think it might be a bug with the new update.

    I landed right next to a thought center so I think you're just having rotten luck

    Yeah. I´ve been on 20 + planets now and found no "dungeon" (every big hostile occurence) and no "villages" (every big friendly occurence) . I am only in the beta sector now and the only things i have found are small houses and ruins, like already said. But theres also something weird with them. Theres always just one or two different small things on one planet, but theres many of the same in a very high frequency. I had 3 of those glitch single houses in a row, or 2 - 4 apex labs in row (with less than a screen space in between) and a total of 5 - 10 of each on the planets.

    @Darklight
    Wich sector are you?

    But I think that's one of the smaller things, I think he's talking about those huge dungeons/villages that used to spawn.

    Haven't ran into them either, I'll keep on exploring.

    Maybe they are being wiped out by these rampant asteroid strikes I keep reading about :)

    A starmap feature is planned where you see activity (dungeons, villages) in the planet info. Maybe bases and such are now rarer, so the upgrade brings you a real advantage with these things.
    Also, in my opinion there were a bit too many dungeons (not sure about the villages though). And if they are more rare, they can fill them with better things to find. I don't think that has to be a bad thing.

    Rarity is nice, but we gotta find out if they're completely left out or not :p

    I don't know, I just feel like my home planet isn't complete without a huge Apex stronghold or an Avian city.

    I keep hoping I will stumble across a giant fossil...I know they have the graphics for the bones...just surprised they don't scatter them around a bit. Would love to be able to assemble a dinosaur in myy house or ship.

    There are smaller and bigger variations of them. I saw the small ones. Do you mean a big one with npc's or jumping puzzles?

    Fossils are on the list for Beta Phase 3. I don't know that we should expect to see much of them before then.

    As for the large structures/dungeons, I have not seen any in the new update, but I had horrible luck finding them before, too. :)

    i think the universe was a little overpopulated before, it made no sense that every single species spreads everywhere

    Explored about 30 solar systems looking for a dungeon but as you've all said there's none to be found.

    Also checked several hundred systems on the starmap to try and find a barren planet but there's none of those either.

    I'm expecting another patch soon that will fix this (since it must be a bug) but that's going to require another universe wipe so yay

    I know it failed before with placing dungeons, but now it seems to do it for every single one of them indeed :\

    Well this is disheartening. I hope an emergency fix is deployed soon!
