Why doesn't Stratacore have a fixed map location?
Stratacore is tied to progression rather than the fixed landmark layout. Its active location is surfaced through the story step and waypoint, so using a permanent Glyph / Void / Fluxroom offset would be misleading.

Open Map & Landmark Navigator →How to find the Stratacore
01
Reach the objective
Reach the point where the Stratacore objective becomes active.
02
Follow the waypoint
Once the objective is active, use the waypoint instead of searching from a fixed landmark.
03
Find the Stratacore
Follow the waypoint to the active Stratacore area.
04
Collect and secure
Pick it up, then stay with the progression until the securing sequence finishes.
Don't search for Stratacore like a fixed landmark
- × Don't count tiles from Glyph Room
- × Don't use Void as a permanent offset
- × Don't rely on Locator
✓ Follow the progression waypoint
Locator does not guide you to the Stratacore. It is used for remaining Artifacts.

This is a progression path, not an instant unlock list. Later systems become available after the stage advances.

Securing in progress
Don't leave the progression immediately. Wait for the process to finish.
Securing complete
Open your toolbox to place the secured Stratacore, then continue with the newly available progression.
These states are shown in the game. This page cannot read your save.
Why didn't the next progression unlock after the Stratacore?
The most common mistake is treating pickup and completion as the same moment. Collect the Stratacore, then allow the securing process to finish.
Check
If you're waiting for a specific machine such as the Synthesizer, check both the progression step and its Research requirement.
Open Research Planner →What comes after the Stratacore?
The Stratacore stage is an important bridge into the later production chain that eventually leads through Synthesizer, Aurixite and Auralite into Aura progression.
