Stuck on Anomaly Mission - No whispering eggs?
Hello!

I'm on a Anomaly mission to kills monstrosities. But it leaded me to an outpost I cleaned before, so there are no whispering eggs left. How can I now summon those Horros? :/

Any help is appreciated

Regards

Hmm. So technically I need to find one by buying some maps in hope I get a location for an abandoned building I didn't cleaned up yet?

Wow.

Guess might be easier to abandon the mission then.

This somehow sucks :/ Shouldn't the game realize of a location is allready altered/visited?

Thank you

Okay I was lucky and indeed found another station nearby. Thank you for that hint.

But I guess I should leave this system now for further Anomaly Quests :D

I've had this problem too.

Apparently (or so I believe), Leaving the Anomaly in the same position all the time will cause it to generate Nexus missions sending you to the same destinations all the time, usually on the closest nearby planet. The answer is to summon the Anomaly elsewhere so you get different mission destinations.

This ties in to a scanning oversight that's been in the game since its release in 2016. When the game scans for a list of destinations of the same type (e.g. Abandoned Outpost, Storage Depot, Manufacturing Facility, etc), it adds them to the list REGARDLESS of whether you've already cleared them. As such, the scan CAN randomly pick a destination you've already cleared, even the one you JUST cleared and are standing right outside of!

The latter case always makes me laugh, as the game goes through the entire sequence of the scanning animation, to whit: camera flies up, scan radiates out, navigation marker appears ON the building you're right outside of, then camera flies back down again.... And THEN the game immediately removes the navigation marker it JUST added because... "you have arrived".

As Mr. Spock would say, "Your illogic is flawlessly and simultaneously logical, also illogical, which is a paradoxical contradiction, therefore logically illogical, or illogically logical. My brian hurts. Did I just call my brain Brian? Excuse me, I need to meditate."
