Steps to Reproduce

1. Generating a mission with the same characteristics (industrial sabotage in the dense biozone with the core stone spawning next to one of the power stations)

Explanation

Found a bug involving the core stone event. I started an industrial sabotage mission alone in the Dense Biozone. As soon as I stepped out of the pod, I saw the core stone's health bar appear on my screen and heard the music as well as mission control's instructions about the event. I thought the pod had landed on it, but no, it was deeper in the cave, next to one of the power stations. The rifts and rifts crawlers had spawned and were attacking me properly, but my weapons ( the flamethrower and wave cooker ) couldn't deal any damage to the stone. A few seconds later and other players joined the mission (2 engis and 1 soldier). They told me that they couldn't see the core stone's health bar. However, when one of the engis shot the stone with their lok rifle, I saw that it took damage ( the soldier also tried shooting it with it's gatling, but it didn't have any effect). The engi also shot it with their grenade launcher and the stone took damage. After the 1st third of it's health bar was downed, it reformed and we were all able to damage it and complete the event properly.
