    Hey all,

    So, I found a crashed Goblin. Great. I landed next to it and Saved. Popping down a Core, I started looting the POI's cargo, several high-end components. Nice!

    I go to reclaim a block with the Multi Tool and BOOM the entire POI explodes, nothing left. SI issue. I reload, turn SI off, and place a Core down again. I go to loot and.... it's loads of really basic stuff, no high-end components at all.

    I didn't think a POI's cargo could change this way... I mean, a reload totally changing the contents.

    This would happen if loot is generated when a container is first opened, not on structure generation.

    Indeed. My, perhaps flawed, understanding was that loot gets generated when a POI is discovered. So, once I find it, and loot is locked-in. However, this experience directly contradicts that understanding...

    It's not a huge deal, I only rarely reload - Structural Integrity glitches being a common reason to reload - but I'd never seen loot change like this before.
