Synthesis Targets not spawning regardless of proper equipment or suggested tilesets

(spoiler alert: the problem was me 😑)

 

i have, for several days, been completely unsuccessful in having any Synthesis Targets (Bombards, Heavy Gunners, Leapers) spawn.

to cover basic questions:

*i do have the Simaris-provided Synthesis mission active as affirmed by the Navigation's Syndicate Mission window.

*i do have the Synthesis Scanner (with all four Widgets and 100 charges) equipped in my Gearwheel.  removed and re-equipped to verify.

*there is no communication with Cephalon Simaris at the start of any attempt.

*i have repeatedly launched into missions suggested by the SteamGuide that people seem to think is infallible; opting for Capture primarily, but have run Sabotage, Exterminate, and Crossfaction Exterminate where applicable.

*i have tried launching into non-suggested tilesets that nevertheless should contain said version of Synthesis Target.

*i have run said attempts Solo, save for the time two different people thought tagging along might help.

*i have dropped the mission and reacquired it on two different days in an attempted to reset it.

*i have attempted these while running different 'frames.

 

i have, in the past, had no trouble with running these, but the last time i've done so was before Deimos was released.  i am at a loss for a means to proceed.

I did a synthesis run last night. I got the 4 done ok for a crawler, but it did seem like the echo trails were weird about showing. I just kept looking with the scanner hoping for Simaris to say "There is it" and then have the marker on the radar.

Just to make absolutely sure, is there any chance you maybe (re)equipped the Codex Scanner instead?

No clue what could be the issue otherwise.

NinjaZeku,

i was absolutely sure i had a scanner equipped, and i did/do -a Codex scanner.  pure unlucky coincidence that my amount of Synthesis Scanners had depleted and replaced its position with the default Codex Scanner before i'd gotten the Sol Battery Widget.  so assured was i that i had ma' good ol' Synth Scanners equipped, i failed to see the otherwise obvious reason for the persistent issue.  a clear cut case of EBKAC.

 

you've saved the mission, Tenno!
