Whilst surveying a nearby system I got the following message
'Ruins Located' 'Ruined Colony found on Lalande'
So I formed a Xenology team on Terra, they hopped on board a Geosurvey Ship and shot over there.
The problem is that they wont unload on arrival with the following message
'Cannot drop off team as the destination is not a population'
I've tried unloading them with all ways available on the Task group orders menu, there dosen't seem to be any way to form a colony on the planet either, so its just not happening, any ideas people

Well barely any time goes by and I have yet another question for for you guysOpen the F9 System View Window for the system in question (using F9 or the sun icon on the System Map). Select the planet with the ruins. Press Add Colony.

Hi Steve,If you do a search on the forum you will find several threads relating to MSSTDFMT.DLL. It's a system issue rather than an Aurora-specific problem

Does having an army commander with xenology help the Engineer Regiment do its work?

How does one use Engineer Regiments with Ruins?

Just drop the brigade (Engineers are now brigades) at the site, they start working on their own.
Yes, Xenology helps the chance to recover an alien installation

So, once my Xeno team lands on the planet and converts Ruined Colony into Abandoned Outpost, my Engineers can come in and start recovering the facilities. At this point, is there any point in keeping the Xeno team on the planet? Can they find or discover anything more on the planet? Or is it just to the Engineers to do the work now?
Not to my knowledge, engineers is all that is needed
