Relics Dig NPCs bugged and wont converse

[PoliScikosis]

Dig II NPC was twitching alot and finally I was able to talk to him after a few minutes of attempts.

however, Dig III NPC was buried alive under terrain and even after uncovering the little Gek, he is perma bugged and wont respond.

Stuck on Dig III

That happened to me too.

DIG III is just terrible.

I saved the game, went back to the opening screen and reloaded the data.

He confirmed that he had returned to the ground. He was shaking badly at this point.

It seemed like he was able to move, so I chased after him while returning the terrain to its original position.

He stopped shaking and we were able to have a conversation.

Was I lucky?

players are messing with others that have to go to those sites later by terrain manipulating under and around the NPCs causing them to bug out

I suspect you may find it easier if you turn off MP.

Even with multiplayer disabled the poor Gek paleontologist was up to their ankles in the snow during the blizzard. But easily interacted with no issues:

How or where do I go to turn it off. The poor little gek is partial T-Pose and shaking

The buried NPCs is a thing, but never seen it interupe my play. You have to decide what is okay foryou. Uncover the problem(yes), Ignore the problem...fccking heads, Ignore the problem, lack mental capacity to understand basic brick wall. Pretty much it..with a handshake

Pause menu > Options > Network
Top option is MP on or off. The change takes effect immediately but you may want to load a save at a different location (e.g. the Space Station or Anomaly) and then return to the dig site (put down a save beacon first otherwise you may not get a mission marker - I have not checked whether it will persist after you have arrived at the site but not talked to the Gek).

Restore the terrain around the npc worked for me. Even though it looks normal, just restore it
