Artifact of the brute disappeared on The Center

[b@ts]

My artifact of the Brute has gone missing. I Dove down at around 67.1, 88.8 found it; posed to take photo; game crashed. Its now not there; and has as of yet not (2 plus hours) regenerated? Didn't pick it up before crash; got a photo though :) anyone any idea how to get it to reset? .ini or command etc Have tried the return to menu method but to no avail.

Have you tried using the method for getting metal nodes to respawn when they stop coming back? Sounds like the same behavior.
1) Log out to game menu
2) when starting up the game lower the resource respawn interval to almost no delay. Located under Advanced tab in the "World" section. I use 0.1 for the setting, but you can go lower like 0.01
3) go to the artifact location, then leave and go outside of render for the artifact. (if it is already back you can skip to step 5)
4) Outside of render of the artifact location, either speed up time and wait a couple minutes ( console command: "slomo 10" for 10x speed and "slomo 1" to go back to normal ) Or just do other stuff in game for a while. DONT LOG OUT, logging out before it respawns is what causes the bug.
5) Come back and verify the artifact (or metal nodes) are back. exit to game menu to return the resource respawn rate to normal.
6) Start the save game up and gather the artifact (or metal nodes)

Try to idle in your base for 15+ min before logging out in general to avoid it happening at all. After all, there are always base chores to do :)

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info ZorTheCruel defiantly useful to know; was just about to give your method a go and thought id give it one more try before; low and behold it was back some 5 plus hours later (with regular hourly checks). So I picked it up this time and yup game crashed again! Ill give it a go if artifact doesn't return once again

thanks again

NP, must be the graphics burst of accessing it or picking it up thats causing a crash. Might need to adjust your settings.
