Investigate Alien Structure?

[gorillaCHEEZ]

How do I do that? I can't do it with an explorer, so...

[Proteus]

You mean things like Progenitor Ruins?

Of course you can do it with an explorer ... just walk on the tile with the ruins, wiuth an explorer that still has unused expedition modules and then explore away

In the Rising Tide Expansion, there's an exceptionally large Alien Structure (covers 3 hexes i think).

Its probably one of the marvel things in the new expansion, and its pretty mutch the same as with ruins just walk onto them and click a button on the unit actionbar.
Think the one you found was a Ancient Alien Structure and now you need to find some smaller once called Floating Aien Structure scatterd around randomly.

nvm, i figured it out

I'm having this problem too! I brought an Explorer over to the structure as well as a soldier... neither seems to be able to "investigate it" I also captured an Alien Drone which can fly over it... but again.. no intractable... what am I missing here?

As Rior said, there are smaller versions scattered around the world. You need to investigate those.

Ok, thanks! ....it confused me beacuse the quest says Investigate THE alien structure ...and all i've been finding are crashed/ sunken spaceships.

Did you figure it out? I have the quest telling me to investigate the 6 structures. I didn't keep track at first, but I have since gone back and checked with explorers. None of the 6 are giving me an option to investigate anymore, but my quest says I've only visited 5/6. It's driving crazy! Any help is welcome.

You've activated 6 because the first step of the Quest asks you to activate one, and then the counter resets to 0 and the second step asks you to find the rest of the structures on the map.

So there's either a structure that you haven't found yet, or one of the structures was somehow removed from the map after the map was created. That happens in some rare circumstances, but I still haven't figured out how or when.

In either case, you should activate the icons for digsites by clicking the eye button on the minimap, as the icon used for those structures changes when you've already investigated them.

Thanks. Now I won't drive myself crazy trying to figure out where they possibly could be.

I'd love to know how to re-stock an Explorer with a new expedition module! :(

Bring your explorer back to one of your cities. Or research the upgrades, those also restock the explorers in the field.
