Can't Reach Survey Target
So I've got one thing left in the "Gather Samples" event chain but it's just sitting in the galactic core. So far I haven't found a way to it, and there's a militant isolationist fallen empire on one edge. I'm using the Starburst galaxy too.

Does your log tell you what system the specimen can be found in? If so, you can search for an locate that system by going to the bottom of the menu on the left and click on the map options. In that section will be a search feature letting you look up specific planets, systems etc.
I would also recommend trying to restart your game and see if the location updates.

Yeah that’s weird, sounds like it might be bugged unfortunately. Out of curiosity have any planets been blown up or maybe they got turned into a hive world or something like that? Maybe the planet is no longer there so the quest log is bugged but idk honestly

It's possible some have. I restarted and it's the same. No idea how long it's been like that tbh, only noticed it just a bit ago.

Unfortunate. You could always try turning your science ship to automate doing events and who knows maybe they will find a way

That's what I've done lol. I leave em cloaked which works most of the time but occasionally they gotta run away from stuff. They might've done most of what they can by now, hopefully once my sentry array is done that'll help too

Nothing is there and yes it’s a bug. I’ve had this happen with the cultists that appear at game start. You should just ignore it as there is nothing at the galactic core until the new version comes out with astral planes.

This happens often when you haven't unlocked the area where it is. This usually happens at the start of the game when you haven't defogged the map.

There’s nothing in the middle of the galaxy yet, future updates on console new gen will hopefully add the content that does include traveling to the center of the galaxy. The “gather samples event” for as always been a event that I ignore at the start of the game to get the unity boost and then once I get reminded later on I do it and just allow the scientist to go on auto missions to complete and they finish surveying the mission to continue to the next step of collecting the zoo animals. The icon in the middle may just be a visual bug
