Main planet structures extremely rare?

So basically we know that it's a bug, not a feature. *Whew*

 

Be nice if they fixed this sooner rather than later with a hotfix. Kind of renders the game unplayable knowing there's nothing out there except surface chests and that whatever you do place down won't be there for long...

 

Another funny thing: quite often you'll encounter the first small structure/camp right at the planet's spawnpoint... I've had this 3-4 times in a row now already, literally spawning in the structure.

 

Seems that way.

Although, it should be noted that server logs included failures to place dungeons before this update as well (although not nearly as much). I assume this happens when certain conditions are not met (for example, a dungeon that is supposed to be completely underground wouldn't be due to a ravine being close to where it is supposed to spawn). My theory is that their tinkering with the world generation code may have inadvertently made either a) those conditions harder or b) caused the old conditions to rarely get met.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has found any large structures (a town or a dungeon) so far? Are they extremely rare or are they completely non-existent?

 

I've been looking for any sort of NPC village for over 2 hours now, 40+ planets visited, no signs of those. Instead of that I came across plenty of structures like small labs, single houses, bandit camps.

 

Yeah, I've been noticing the error spam as well. I think before it was only happening for like one dungeon on one planet at a time, wo

 

Yea this needs to be fixed ASAP

 

I have yet to find anything of "interest" as i call it. I've found small avian houses.. cultist camp site glitchy glitch houses with 1 door.. And thats it. Nothing else. Also the whole terrain generation itself seems a bit more wonkier in general. I've been on some planets where the whole landscape is messed up (Granted one of these had a meteor strike.. sure made beating the boss easier) But I can't find anything.. and it is rather disheartening since those were my favourite parts of the game.

 

Just going to bump this so this thread doesn't die, it's easily the largest issue with the new patch that needs to be addressed.

 

I have the same issue. I've explored ~30 planets in alpha and beta sectors, none of them had any settlement or dungeon. Only small glitch/avian/floran houses and cloth merchants. Lots of cloth merchants.

 

There was an official twitter-message, that they are working on a quick patch.

 

Well I'm glad to know it wasn't just our server experiencing these problems. This really needs to be fixed a.s.a.p and I hope it doesn't require another universe wipe to do it...

 

Awesome! Hopefully they fix this as well as the chest bug soon.

 

It's funny how they can't bother to post that here on the main site, where everybody would look/know.

Now people will continue to complain about the same issues for hours to come.

 

Same experience here 25(!) damn planets, all got nothing but small housings and chests filled with crap.

Out of 25 planets 1 Chets contained a potent weapon, a plasma grenade launcher and 1 a crappy rare weapon (rocket launcher). The rest were common melee weapons and pistols/assaultrifles with again WAY too much energy use.
Even if this was part of another rebalance, why the heck isnt it then in the patchnotes? Rebalancing of ANY kind should be in the patchnotes, no matter how small they are.

0 legendaries, 0 dungeons (dungeons and villages are apparently bugged) and 0 other things of interest (apex jump maze and so on).


I accept that dungeons, villages etc are bugged andwill be fixed soon, but seriously 25(!) planets, 25(!). And not a single potent find on them in the chests... All planets were in sector X and all were level 10.

 

Can anyone confirm if the latest patch fixed this? Will we have to regenerate planets or just find new ones?

 

Assuming to the last patch which did significant changes to elemental game mechanics (weapon damage) I would say you simply have to find simply new ones. Dont quote me on that though.

 

From what I've seen, that problem is still there. Has anybody seen big dungeons/villages since the patch ?

 

Since the hotfix yesterday I have seen a couple of dungeons, less then before (not those ridicolous ammounts of apex labs for instance on 1 planet) but towns, floran prisons and even a usmc penal colony I have found.

 

Did you do an universe wipe/character wipe? I wiped everything after the latest patch and it got back to its normal "every planet has a big thing (villages, dungeons etc) and multiple small things (houses, ruins etc)".
