not the first time this happening.

a quick search in the forum and you find this forum post:
https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/npc-core-disappers/19512

and when you read the guide for the core you find this:

You CAN’T get the Alien Core back out of your structure unless you have EGS Recycle level 5 and recycle your structures !

Alien Core

On HWS you have the possibility to get an Alien Core as a super HighTech Alien Technology® item. Either from PDA missions, rewards, buying HWS Garage ships and recycling them, or with a Support. However, with great power comes great responsibility: WARNING: if you dismantle an Alien Core it will become parts in your inventory. You CAN’T get the Alien Core back out of your structure unless you have EGS Recycle level 5 and recycle your structures! A multitool will ALWAYS break Alien Cores, no m…

sorry for the bad news!

[Lecko]

I don’t think you are correct. This is an HWS Core not an Alien Core.

Can we implement some kind of action where it retrieves like the salvage core? (Shift+F or something like that)

[Dr.Dark]

Hey, @Lecko.

Regular cores, Alien Cores, and Patreon Cores cannot be picked up at all, other than through EGS Recycle level 5+
This is intentional, and we don’t intend to change it for now @Wh1t3_Gh0st.

But since you technically already have EGS Recycle level 5, so you could have done it if you just used the right command, I made an exception and returned the Patreon Core to your inventory now.

hmm, patreon core doesn’t go to ocd anyway, soo…

[Dr.Dark]

Right, there’s also that.

"Dr. Dark,
Okay - thank you, thank you, thank you… I misunderstood the directions in the first place regarding HWS Patreon Core. I thought we were supposed to manually send it to the OCD (when level 5), but you have clarified that I need to leave it in the object (in this case a CV) and use OCD commands to recycle it directly. GOT IT…
Since fair play is fair play, I will add it back to the exact ship it came from and recycle correctly! This will be done sometime late today if you’d like to check.

 Again - thank you so much for being fair when I was being ignorant. 

Lecko!"

[Dr.Dark]

No problem, @Lecko. By the way, please reply from the forum and not through email, since only RexXxuS can see your emails.

Remember what Marko said. You can’t store your Patreon Core in your OCD, so there’s no way to save it for next season
