Extremely slow xenology team

[Beaker (OP)]

I have had a xenology team checking out a ruin for about 6 years with no progress.  This can't be right?  Any way to check progress (or restart them, if needed)?

1) Make sure it is indeed a xenology team. I once thought I was surveying ruins with one but it was taking a long time as well and I discovered it was a geology team instead. 2) It is random how long it takes, the better the team rating the faster it usually goes. 3) Check the team for any missing/dead members.

1) It is indeed a xenology team.
2) Random is fine, but six years?
3) Five team members, no one missing.

It is possible it depends on their skill level...it took years for the 1st Xenoarcheology team to survey the ruins at Rosetta; to the point I was wondering if they were working.  It was at least 5 years sorta thing maybe even longer.

So long as you look on the planet and see a team there is the teams window then they are doing their job.  Just ignore them until they let you know they have found something.

I've also encountered Xeno teams that spent years to finish their job. According to the Wiki, you don't lose any progress if you disband the team and assign a new team though, so if you have better officers you should disband the team and re-assemble the the team with the best Xeno guys you got.

There is no "lost work" penalty for disbanding a team and creating a new team at any point. e.g. Disbanding a geo-survey team with a combined skill of 80 that has been working for four months on a planet and creating a new team with a skill of 100 will actually INCREASE your chance of completing the survey sooner.

Could be a hint that it's quite massive ruins.

That's always been the case for me, the longer a given team needed, the bigger the ruins were.

Just to check, is there an actual ruin there and not just an anomaly? Aka does it say "xeno team needed" on the summary? Because I have made that mistake.........

They finally finished after 6 years, 9 months.  It was a ruined city (95 installations).  Installation recovery also seems to be slow - three years with nothing recovered.  Maybe the current version has all such things slowed down?

You need construction brigades to really recover anything. That usually goes pretty fast with 5-15 days per installation and brigade.(tested to work this way in 7.1 too)

Construction brigade is in place already, just no results.

Sometime it takes forever. Anyone noticed that there is no robotic guardins anymore?

Yea I think they had some bugs and have been disabled.  I think I saw a post by Steve on Reddit

Spoilers!

But yes, there is/was a pretty bad bug with them.
