Known Issues

• When the player approaches plants they’ve already sampled or have obtained the complete sample for, the UI text says ‘Insufficient Diversity’ instead of ‘Already Sampled’
• The sample burning animation is unclear in that samples are being destroyed or that it can be cancelled

• Collection mission objective will only update for one person in the instance
• Players sometimes experience that missions are not showing as completed until they re-log
