Poi "Artifact" have nothing. Bug? Unfinished game?

[TonyMax.Fr]

Hi there, i was searching for good Pois on planets near the first system and found a "Poi" named "Artifact" but it had nothing. I dug but found nothing too.
Is it normal?

And just near it, a Poi without any name, very deep in the ground, and nothing too...
With some Poi which explode for no reason, like the Poi "Crashed Dive-1", a crashed CV which explode and break into pieces as soon as i touch it or put a core on it... I think this game is really still really in an alpha stage. It's unfinished...

And why i still see the left bar showing my height even if i am in space? Feel like my save (or the entire game) is broken.

I did enjoy the begining on the fourth starters but the devs only worked on that? I don't understand...

(sorry if bad english)

What made you think the artifact would have to be a dungeon?

You tried to reactivate a destroyed structure. I'd be surprised if it didn explode. Next time make sure it's structurally sound before you go pressing buttons.

Your elevation in space is your distance to a planet.

The moons of Crown are the new player area. They're meant to teach you the basics of the game until you can build a ship and leave. Since they're basically a tutorial area, they required the most work.

Are you kidding me? It was half in the ground and broke in parts in the air... disapearing totaly and you say it's normal?

It shouldn't show up when in space, especially since it only shows the distance from the planet/moon we just left, not the closest one. I can only think it's a bug.

I'm more than 20km away from the moon 2 here.

Not quite sure i follow what the OP is talking about?

but i do know some crashed vessel POI's are very sensitive, or you could say 'booby trapped' to collapse unexpectedly..... You just have to try to collect the most critical things first, and always have a logistics container connected in case it does collapse, and if it does, then zoom around like crazy hitting the F key. Things falling underground though is just bad form by the game.

Collapsing POIs are just due to them not being designed properly.

AH thanks ! I think that's it too. Or something like that, because between alpha 9 and 1.8 i played a lot and never seen that... But i've seen a lot Poi like that since i play again (1.11.3)

I only expected it to be something, not only ...air.

And i've not only seen this bugs. lot of UI bugs, and mission bugs, and ships bouncing when sit down on the pilot seat or leaving it, even without anything docked on the ship...

This game is unfinished.

I would presume then that it's referring to the name of the sector rather than the particular celestial body you're approaching. It's usually the same thing.

Either way, you're 3.5 kilometers from a transition point to a different playfield according to the altimeter in this screen shot.

Some POIs are just set dressing.

There are some in vanilla that have been there for years. I have not had the POI the OP is referring to collapse, but there is one crashed CV, that comes to mind, that does it all the time. It has a good number of thrusters and is usually in the starting sector for us to salvage for that reason.
Only way to prevent this is to core it then check SI, then shore it up so that you can get all the goodies.
I am not at my PC or I would give you the name sorry. Maybe TBB remembers which one I am referring to. I will make note of the others as I come to them.

Don't tell me, I'm not going to be able to fix them.

Ok no problem. Thank again for the info! :)

No like i said, i was something like 20km away from the moon 2 (it stoped to show the good kms since i've reached 3.5 km). So i'm thinking something is wrong here, this two bars (the degree bar too) are not supposed to be here in space since they're only related to planets (the O key don't bring us to the degree zero).

Like i said, some (lot) of them explode in pieces as soon as we core them and even only that.
I can make a video if you want to understand what i was saying.

No that's not necessary. I have had that happen on occasion as have we all. As for is it going to get fixed? Probably not. It may be as intended and maybe not only the creator knows.

I'm 100% sure it was NOT intented. It wouldn't make sense. The ship is half buried, it should not do it !
