Alien sites closed now?

I'm trying to generally avoid spoilers on all the new stuff but was wondering if anyone could please confirm on this one?

After a little hiatus from the game, I've come back to finish off my hitherto suspended tourist trip to one of the alien sites.

I'm now parked up at the site in HIP 19026, with a UP & UA in tow, but the doors to get inside don't budge? Do they only open on certain sites, or have they all closed off since 2.4 landed, or what?

If I'm too late for this party that's fine, just need to know so I know whether to look elsewhere or just shrug and merrily leap inside one of the nearby 'non-human signal source threat 5' furballs, that sound like a SUPER GOOD IDEA to drop my little asp into..

If you're planning on continuing your tourist trip, there's a new barnacle site that's very interesting. I can tell you where, if you'd like. As far as I know, the sites are still working as intended. Only some of them open. Believe there's a list around here somewhere.

I went to a couple active structures yesterday and they opened up just fine. Could not for the life of me get the other thing you need while there to spawn in though.

Make sure your UP & UA are in your ship or SRV. Log out to menu and log back in, you're teleported outside the structure and then the 'other thing's should spawn. At least this worked last time I tried a few weeks ago.

I relogged many times. Went to solo play, flew to a different site, i tried for hours.

Yep I've predictably banged into the 'link spawn' wall as well now. The base itself is pretty cool though.

Two things I've seen suggested hunting through support threads that I'm gonna to try, when this server patch is done with*:

1. Drop the UA (now called 'thargoid scanner' I think?) into the central chamber device, *before* going to the side-rooms - for some people this has apparently triggered the links spawning when nothing else was working. If you already went to the side-rooms and got the tentacles to drop then this apparently doesn't work, you'll need to relog (apparently scanning the device in the central chamber will regurgitate any stuff you dropped in, always make sure you re-collect your UP & UA before logging out).

2. Before entering the base, drop the UA & UP on the ground, one or both should scan you, if they did, the links should spawn, if not you'll need to re-instance, but either way make sure to pick them up again before leaving or logging out!

Mission: complete. Tried trick 2 above first and it did the trick (unless placebo, who knows).

I enjoyed the fairy lights. Gf was less impressed, but then she isn't a big fan of 'space' as she calls it anyway. Don't see why, it's not like the game is a time sink or anything [noob]
