    I've been running with vanilla 1.5 now for a bit and normally I'd have run into such places as the Abandoned Assembly Yard or the Abandoned Factory by now. I've been through several system warps and explored a number of planets I remember seeing those on (temperates, oceans, alien, etc) and so far haven't found any. In fact most of the time these 3 planet types have no POIs other than colonists on them, even when they're in one of the faction's territories.

    Has something changed in the way these are distributed or have I just been terribly unlucky and need to keep looking for them? I'm primarily interested in seeing what Vermillion has done with the Abandoned Bunker, but obviously need a shot at finding one first.

    Supposedly the group was split between early game and later. Though I'm not sure exactly where the later group is set to spawn.

    They are still there and you'll find them in non faction space on a wide variety of planets (not moons). Snow, Temperate's, Barren, Alien, Arid...not sure about Desert's I can't remember.

    It's essentially RNG on whether you'll find any on a planet or not.

    Yep, as is typical, I posted this and then played the game later and ran into a planet with two of those POIs on it out in unclaimed space. On an arid planet.

    I do remember these things being a lot more common than this though. Maybe they were cut back due to being too lucrative for looting?

    Arid, Barren, Lava Nascent, Snow, Temperate and Temperate Plateau all have 1-2 Abandoned POIs. The amount scales up/down with planet size (larger planets have more abandoned POIs)
    Lava has 2-3 (does not scale with planet size)
    Alien has 2-4 (does scale with planet size)
    Starter planets contain only the AbandonedStarter POIs.

    Hmm. Interesting. Do these spawn on story worlds like the one where the pyramid excavation is?

    I think part of the reason I might have missed these before is that their faction color is white, like the colonists, so I may have actually ignored a lot more than I'm aware of.

    They spawn on the TemperatePlateauStory world with the same settings as the Regular TemperatePlateau, but do not spawn on the other story planets.

    Ah, wait. Escarli said non-faction planets. That temperate plateau planet for the story is in Zirax space. So that would mean they won't spawn there, right?

    I have an 'abandoned' POI compound on my temperate starter planet, by judging from the sounds it's full of legacy scum, I went away to deal with it another time. So the theory is wrong that they don't spawn on starter planets or that they only spawn on non-faction planets. It must be random (Playing 1.5 in single player survival). From what I've seen in 1.4, it's true that most of them together with Colonist POIs will spawn on habitable non-starter planets, they are big and give a lot of ressources but at that point in the game I have already my containers full to the raft, so they are rather useless for me except for some ETLT (Epic Tech Looting Tourism).

    On the starter planets you will have the following spawn:

    Abandoned Workshop
    Abandoned Outpost
    Abandoned Vessel Yard
    Theta Labs

    The old abandoned poi's you know of such as the abandoned bunker, abandoned reactor etc (which is what the OP was referring to), those you will find in non faction space. This is the single player version I'm referring to.

    The starter ones are devious too, I love it. I almost decided to turn the Abandoned Outpost into my base but took over Sigma Fulcrum instead.

    could anyone be so kind to advise where the core is in the abandoned mine?

    Sorry, I know the Abandoned Factory but don't have the notes on the Mine one. There's a number of threads over on Steam about core locations (Spoilers of course). Like this:
    https://steamcommunity.com/app/383120/discussions/0/1743353164083728493/

    But a lot are out of date, or the Cores are now Admin POI blocks (I forget the proper term) that can't be removed without going into the console and doing it command line style. I try to avoid using the console, but sometimes it's the only real answer.

    Unless it's changed, it should be at the very bottom, behind some grating you can't destroy so you'll need to pull some switches which will self destruct the core along with several of the other good bits of salvage.

    Sorry for reviving this thread, but I have more or less the same problem.
    I found an abandoned mine not far from the starting system, literally the first jump within 30LY, the POI was found on a high-G lava planet and that was a pain in the ass, as you have to jump down breaking legs and loosing 70% of health :D

    Afterwards I visited around 50 different systems surveying temperate planets and I never found an abandoned POI, moreover some [COL] buildings and that's it…
    I ended up in Legacy home planet, that I'm obviously not prepared for, but I finally found two abandoned POIs there :eek:

    You need to be in unclaimed territory to find them, usually.

    That's the point. Unclaimed territories were all rubbish. POI like "Destroyed capital vessel" are among the best things to offer. The rest is just a pile of junk.

    Or this one:

    An "Old Farm" on High gravity LavaNascent planet, feels like a bad farming investment :D

    Yes, each system has only a 60% chance to have Alien faction POIs.
    Tesch, ARC, Wastelanders, and Farr actually have 100% chance so they are the best territories to find abandoned POIs in.

    I finally have my lucky strike:
    [​IMG]
    I'm not yet sure about the factions, e.g Wastelanders was empty for abandoned POIs. Though planet size seems to do the trick. I used to avoid large planets as it takes time to survey them, but finally it turned out to be a good time investment. Rather than dangling around the galaxy with no return, one large planet might have 8:eek: abandoned POIs in one place. The system is unclaimed.
