Guardian Machine wont take my relic?

Maybe Silly, maybe Newby failure, Maybe whatsoever
First posted this in German Discussions, but no discussion happened^^

o7 to all.
I got back in after 5 years. I was glad to see that everything was still there^^
Back then I mainly specialised in mining and later I really wanted to circumnavigate the galaxy ...
Well, I didn't get very far before RL overtook me a bit - and then I lost interest, especially as it was always the same - scanning, exploring, listening to ACDC and the next system ... (you couldn't land on planets yet).

This time I want to play the parts I left out.
I don't know yet whether the Engineers are for me - I'd rather do the Guardians first.

I'm currently on Synuefe NL-N C23-4 B3 to get the blueprints for the energy distributor and FSD together in the structure there.
I'm only missing the 2nd module blueprint - and it won't work.
Each time I stand on the X in front of the machine I'm looking for - it happens ... Nothing.
The relic stands lonely behind the SRV, right by the hole, and the machine sparkles and glitters - but no matter how often I pick it up and try to insert it again ... the mocking sparkle remains, but without a disco ball to scan.
I've tried with freshly collected ancient relics, with one of the now 32 I already have on the ship - no matter which one, the thing won't go into the hole.
It worked once - and I didn't pay any attention to positioning or anything.

What am I doing wrong?
Greetings and fly save,
o7, Cmdr Tom

Edit: Just tried again. The relic thing is ejected backwards in a wide arc. Even if I position myself so that it has to land on the hole, it doesn't do anything and just sits there glowing innocently. Now I'm wondering whether the cargo grab has to be retracted for this. Is it then ejected differently?
I haven't tested that yet - and today I have no motivation to do so. It's a bit frustrating.

Just to make sure... have you charged all pylons first?

Hi!

Yes i did.
And i did find the "Bug"

I had read somewhere that it only works once per member in a group.
I flew always logged into the private group eltiedangerous.de
I've just tried my Luck in solo and lo and behold: it worked straight away.
Even with poor Positioning of my SRV - the Relic went in - and viola - Discolights and Scanning^^

No more farming in Groups^^

Thanks for your answers and o7

i'm in SOLO mode ( never grouped ) and this same bug? just happened to me at a guardian ground site too @Tom Bacon just as you described

very weird , it just won't "take" the Relic no matter where i park my SRV & jetison/abandon within the 'X' spot

worked fine the other day , all pylons energized properly just like i always do , so i dunno why this one time it wouldn't work ... ugh

So difficult to say. Technically, I'm still a newbie myself^^ I'm surprised that I'm still flying in this group today anyway - since I've been away for 5 years. Otherwise I would have completely forgotten why I joined it back then.
I can only say that it only worked once within the group - and since I just needed a second blueprint, I just tried it once in solo. Now I'm on another site for the weapon blueprints. But that won't work for me until tomorrow - I'll test it in solo - if it only works once there and maybe once in group mode - then that's the solution. If that's true, then you should look for one of the big player groups - they should still exist (they were made back then to escape the gankers^^) - then you should be able to do it once in solo and once in grp mode.
I know from Years ago that some used to be able to bypass this with login/logout - but - without doing much research - I assume that this has been changed so that you can only do this once per game mode? Because there are several sites where you can get blueprints. Maybe they want us to make the grind even more "flighty"?

o7 and fly save!

Just make sure you're not at one of the vessel sites. Those take Ancient keys not relics.

yep that ^ was it CMDR ! Thanks much, since i had totally forgotten which type of site i had landed upon this time. o7
( recently, i stumbled upon the infamous 'Guardian Beacon' in space, but i'm still sorta newb-ish about all this Guardian/Thargoid stuff so i couldn't remember whether or not i needed the 'ancient key' version or the regular 'relic' version )

I now have my plans together, except for the fighter plans - I'll get those later.
I have done it in solo and was able to log in and out without any problems.
