Not sure if this is a bug or not, don't remember seeing this in the patch notes, but there is now no loot at the restore mission settlements. When I mean none, I mean absolutely nothing even in maglocked lockers. Hopefully this is a bug or it turns one of the best mission types into the worst.
Zero loot at Restore mission settlements
- Thread starter Dimensions
- Start date
Did you log into the settlement following exiting the game or crashing/disconnection from the game?
Loading into a settlement deletes all mats and data. Irrespective of your motivation for logging out in the first place.
If the answer is yes, get into your ship, launch, go to supercruise, immediately drop from supercruise (it takes 1-2 seconds to allow this) and then go back. Dock. Go get your loot.
No this is from entering the settlements for the first time. I did this for two restore missions in a row with the same result, didn't try for any more since it just sucks without the loot.
Yep, there was absolutely nothing including data ports, except sample containment samples if you want to hang around for 3mins.
Must be bugged or in open where a commander has already created the instance.
Try again. If you can record it, even better. Then time for an issue tracker log I'd say.
This hasn't happened to me though.
Possibly the OP has a cat? They're known reloggers, the little rascals 
Lolz, no cat here. Maybe I just got unlucky as mentioned. But not really inspired to try another for possibly the same result.
Most of the restore power ones I have done have had no loot.
Yeh it's sort of a thing of balance. Inactive settlements represent the simplest route to gathering loot. Lowest risk, least effort. The counterpoint is you don't get as much.
But it shouldn't be entirely empty. Though I've never seen one entirely empty though. Except logging back in.
Just hit up an offline settlement that had plenty of loot, so not "new bug since the patch". Do the settlements with no loot continue to have no loot if you supercruise away and come back?
We'll never know, they have given up on the mission type now
Just after the OPs ship breaks orbit, a short distance form the settlement, from just behind small rise, a sidewinder lifts into the air and moves in small bursts of its thrusters to land lightly closer by

Damn I wich I knew this before clearing this settlerment.
Been gone since my GFX didnt handle the game and now I have a new one.
Crashed 2 times entering this settlement.
Just an update to this, you now need to actually go to orbit then return. Just following what I said above won't reset everything. It doesn't add much to the time though.
Just jump to SC, fly into orbit and level out, fly away for a couple seconds at full throttle, cut to 30k/s then turn around and approach again to enter glide and land. The act of entering orbit resets the settlement fully.
Did this behaviour change with update 13?
Good thing that I returned to this here thread.
Or I would have been very unhappy later tonight when I am at home again after work.
If I crahsed to desktop again.
I believe the "go to

Until now I only hit supercruise and returned immediately, no need to go to orbit.. But haven't done any on foot stuff missions lately. Just on foot guardian and thargoid sites!
