I like the new Core Corruption warning, but for the love of Karl, fix the Crust placements.

Like the title says, I'm liking the Core Corruption warning that came with the Rogue Core promotional event in DRG, I would have never thought that a completely new warning would be added outside of a major update and I appreciate the core spawn having more impact on Hoxxes' ecosystem now. But something I find unacceptable is the random Core Stone Crust generation.

I had a Haz 5 mission last night where we were fighting the Greater Core Stone and on it's second stage, it placed the Crust where we first landed, completely separated from the room we were in with all of our ziplines set up! There was almost no tell of where exactly it was, I only figured that out when I (Driller) went down from frantically digging in the general direction of the beam high up in the ceiling while there were infinite Corespawn slapping me silly and got my camera wedged outside of the map, so I could see it through the wall. I did manage to break it, but by then we had already wasted too many resources and we ended up team wiping.

I've been playing DRG ever since Season 5 started so I'd consider myself a bit of a veteran in dealing with Core Stones, but dealing with the thing that needs to be destroyed lest we all die generating completely outside of the combat area is just stupid because you will most likely go down if you try to reach it on foot. The Korlok Tyrant-Weed seems like it was the code base for this spawning logic in the game, but it was fine with that event because there are more than one sprout around and you don't have to destroy them all.

Sorry for all this ranting, but I otherwise really like this warning and I want to see it improve in a future patch. Rock and Stone!
