What's the point of the LoA resource sites?

That would be nice, but scripted missions are not a thing in PX… The closest thing we have is the Tutorial, and it’s a total disaster: it teaches all the wrong things, lol.

I think it doesn’t have to be scripted, position the ancients behind or close to the bandits or NJ soldiers should do it. The mission to get the Synedrion bionics with Synderion defenders and Pure works almost this way and I think this is not a bad example how to go.
Map design and positioning, that’s IMO all to get there.

Edit (I should read the whole post before writing ):

At some point there was talk of making a “gym” where the player could experiment with different enemies and tactics without any consequences (it’s one of the 10 suggestions from Snapshot on Canny).

I don’t know it this is still on or not, but if it is, how about if once you excavate one of those sites, you got a prompt to meet these automata in the “gym” before going there for real?

If this is in the game, then it would be probably the best solution.
