Some users are reporting that they can find the ECS Constant, but can’t progress with any of the quests associated with it:

The bug seems to be due to the game not registering the Activity quest properly and not being able to accurately track the ECS Constant’s location on the Starmap as it moves around the galaxy.

Though some are reporting that this method works, this isn’t a guarantee and you may still experience the bug. If so, you will have to wait for a potential bug fix from Bethesda to fix this issue on Xbox consoles.

Where is the ECS Constant in Starfield?

The ECS Constant can be located by tracking the ‘Location of the ECS Constant’ quest in your Activity log. After the First Contact quest has wrapped up, the ECS Constant will likely move to another location in the galaxy.

This is because they are looking for another habitable planet and will jump from star system to star system in their search for a suitable home.
