Talked to two travelers, but only one grave

[Kablooie]

Made the mistake of paying for two grave sites in the same system (two travelers in the space station). The 2nd Traveler happily took my nanites, the game told me a new location was made available, BUT then there was a message: "Nothing Found".

I looked for the 2nd gravesite but cannot find it. What do I do? Do I have to wait for a "Universe reset" to obtain this portal glyph? Sadness.

I should add that I didn't go find Traveler #1's grave before asking directions from Traveler #2, which is how the bug gets tripped, I think. You probably have to 1.get directions from Traveler #1, 2. go find his grave & get glyph, then 3. Return to station. 4. Go talk to 2nd Traveler.

That is correct. You need not worry, there are travellers everywhere so you can easily find all 16 glyphs in short order.

Could you elucidate further? I got the impression the Traveler's and Gravesites were a fixed feature. The loads of messages and evidence of player visitation at each grave seems to indicate this. If I can't find a way to reset the Traveler holding the directions to this particular glyph . . . . . you're not saying that traveler's are randomly spawned but point to fixed graves? The graves are in distant systems . . . ???

I'm not sure about the random spawning of travellers. I'd say yes and no maybe? Depending on location. In a space station, if you see a traveller there, that traveller will always be in that space station from my experience. If you find a traveller on a planet in a habitable building, that could be RNG at play, not sure.

That said, in any space station if there is a traveller present, will point you to a grave site on a planet within that system. Once you receive coordinates, do not speak to any other traveller until you went to the first location, as a second traveller location will overwrite the first one.

Unfortunately, if you talked to both Travelers and went to a grave, the other would disappear and you'll no longer be able to talk to the 2nd traveler to get the grave location. Not sure if this is a bug, or it's intentional but be aware that you should NOT talk to both of them at the same time. Talk to one, collect the grave and talk to the other. Here's a link to portal glyphs to help you find travelers easier than trying to find them in a random system.. https://www.xainesworld.com/no-mans-sky-portal-glyphs-fast-travelers-graves/

Travelers can be found in many if not all populated systems. Sometimes in the space station, other times in trade outposts. There is (I believe) one grave per system. If you get lucky and find two travelers, talk to one, go to the grave for the glyph. Go back and talk to the 2nd traveler and he'll send you back to the grave for another glyph. I have found upon returning to the space station after the first time, that all but one alien were missing, until I left the system and teleported back and then they were back again. Not sure if that's a common occurrence or not.

The messages that you get when talking to travelers and at the graves play out (I believe in the same order). But it doesn't matter what traveler in what system you get the glyph from. If one messed up, you'll just get that glyph from the next traveler you find.
