Aren't anomalous sites denoted by the purple triangle hologram looking thing? I don't think those give cyphers. You've gotta look for exploration sites. They're those buildings that give sector bonuses like +20 resources and an attribute to units you build. They are diamonds on the map with a black/grey fade background and a red outline if you haven't cleared them.

If you haven't cleared them, you can scan them for cyphers for a turn then win the fight next turn and claim a cypher. If you've already cleared them I think you have to fight the new chaos enemies and maybe you won't always find a cypher.



As for you not being able to do anything with your anomaly site, that might be a UI bug that's affecting things like clearing hazards, annexing sectors, entering exploration sites, etc.. If you reload your game it should be fixed!

That makes sense for the exploration sites. I had the two confused since I found that anomolous site that talked about having heavy doors and no options to explore it.

I also found out that the cypher collection mission that If you don't collect all 3 on one planet and do another grail mission on another planet, it still holds it's progression.

Is it supposed to be guarenteed to get a cypher if the exploration site is occupied? It reads lile it is but I didnt get one or even a pop up saying I didnt find one.

Iv also fought apostates before, got the message that i didnt find one and then still got one from it.

Seems finding cyphers is very sloppy at the moment.

Atleast from sites. Most reliable way is factions.

One thing i noticed is when i checked a landmark with marauders and entered the fight immediately i didnt get one. However, when i clicked retreat initially and the clicked back on it the map said "contains a cyper" or something like that. So maybe clicking retreat once makes it 100% like its intended. Dunno. Sounds to me like it needs looked at and cleaned up.
