Starfield's planets aren't all interesting, but they're not all "supposed to be Disney World" (www.vg247.com)

You'll probably find that a lot of planets in Starfield are pretty boring, but Bethesda says that's kind of the point.

It's kind of difficult to explain this without telling you the whole thing.

Here goes...
Build outpost randomly.
Meet Bounty Hunter in close-by container.
Bounty Hunter asks for help with bandits, and to meet 1km east.
I get a marker on my map and on HUD.
I think "fuck, im not running 1km."
I go back to my ship and open map.
I put my landing marker close to mission marker.
Click to fast travel.
Loading Screen.
Ship lands.
Get out of ship.
Look around. It's a whole different map.
No marker on HUD.
Think "wtf".
Fast travel back to my outpost.
My mission is there again.

Ah I see, I understand! Yeah that's essentially a version of the colonist bug I encountered. It seems certain parts of the game want you to play through it. Mine "works" a little more than yours though, since I was rescuing someone fast traveling would defeat the point. But showing up somewhere is definitely something you'd expect to work for a bounty.

For what it's worth I often find myself feeling like I don't want to run 1km, but it's only 5 minutes and I get there before I know it. The distances of the POI's feel so far, but most are around 400m and it seems to go by in about 2 minutes. For moons it's full cause you can complete the surveys quickly, but for planets it's a good opportunity to finish them up without feeling like I'm wasting time I could be spending on quests.

Anyway, sorry you had to question your sanity and thank you for indulging my curiosity!
