POIs and quests are bugged

[Flummili]

We are playing a multiplayer game on a dedicated server:
tried to do the crack-a-book headquarter - couldn't clear the area. I've seen this issue reported in another thread.

But we also have the problem, that our crack-a-book was a totally different building until we started the quest.

Then we tried the Shamway HQ which was a shotgun Messiah building until we started the quest.

We didn't bother doing the quest, because it is too discouraging if it doesn't work again.

Lots of POIs in the town change when we get closer, this was even in parts of a town we hadn't discovered before.

So unless there is like a hotfix for this problem, it looks like we'd have to start a new savegame?!

This is generally caused by a corrupt save or map or else the world was edited or changed in some way in an active game.  You can delete all the region files so everything resets and that would likely fix the problem but it would also remove your base and any changes you may to the world unless you don't delete the region(s) that you want to keep.  Using the chunk reset timer would also probably help, but it isn't going to reset anything where you are located and running around, so would only help for distant areas.
