So I find and research the 6 precursor civs. That gives me a clue to there home planet. Fly my ass over then scan system and nothing. Nothing to research. I still have quest sitting in my situations log.
Precursor Bug?

I've had this happen, when the homeworld spawned in my borders, and I had a science ship right next to it, flew into the system, researched everything, and got no event. I'm 100% sure no AI got there first.
i wonder if they obly allow one precursor tech to foubd in a game. so if someone foubd a different one before you it negates it. Either waynit sucks and i wish they would fix the situation report so it doesnt show as an unfinished mission
I noticed that I got all six of the First League artifacts but the home system spawned in another empire's border but i didn't get anything. However when I checked that empire I noticed that they had only three artifacts so I'm not sure if this is a bug or something else.
You don't need to find artifacts to get the benefits. The artifacts just tell you where the system is, they don't generate its resources AFAIK. Alternatively, they do generate resources but it's a free-for-all at that point. One of them is true.
All five precursor homeworld will eventually be discovered (spawned) in galaxy, as empires slowly complete their artifact quests. Once a homeworld is spawned, it is an open race for everyone, if it is in neutral territory.
If it is inside border of any empire, though, it will be available to that empire only. And that empire could also lose the chance, if it is somehow prevented to survey the home planet. When an empire gets the reward (really small by that time usually), in most cases all other empires that have the same quest don't receive notification telling them failed, so their quest lingers in situation log forever. And worse, if an empire has First League / Irassian / Cybrex artifact quest and it didn't manage to complete it first in galaxy, the quest will be unfinishable even when it gets 6/6 artifacts and beyond that.
Yes, the precursor quests are that broken right now. I fully recommend using some precursor fix mod, such as my mod.

Wow! Thank you for that! Hopefully this fixes things! Thank you very much!
Just had this bug sour my game yesterday. Really thought this would have been fixed by now.
