Mirage + Ritual bug

Was using the nameless astrolabe, maybe its a bug associated with the final map in the chain + ritual.

Basically the ritual in the alter just didnt appear at all in the mirage, and that was my last ritual map, and I was doing a blood filled vessel strat.

Basically poofed 3 divs on the map because the ritual just didnt show up no matter what I did.

Not sure if the ritual just bugged and can spawn on the outside of the mirage, or if its a bug with the astrolabe because technically both of those conditions were met and im unwilling to continue the strat so i dont have anymore info about it other than the ritual just not showing up

While the astrolabe guarantees a ritual spawn on the map itself, mirages can spawn within range of any mechanic, which includes shrines and strongboxes (unable to disable them...). One time the mirage spawned in range of a forbidden forest as well, but the forest didn't spawn in the mirage, which resulted in a mirage without any league mechanic involved (based on what I found, but I could have overlooked it). Albeit from my experience - if you run a definite mechanic such as ritual, which has 4 locations on a map, it is very rare for the mirage to not encompass at least 1 ritual. E.g. harvest has a higher chance to not be encompassed by the mirage location due to a single locus. Map layout definitely plays a role here as well, but in what expanse is pure speculation on my side. In my interpretation, stretched maps such as Strands may have more distance between each mechanic spawn, henceforth it could be more difficult for the mirage to cover more mechanics.

Note, this is all based on my experience with this league mechanic, as well as also being a ritual runner. There are things I don't quite understand as well (e.g. why map bosses aren't absorbed by rituals spawned in a mirage most of the time, resulting in devastatingly low tribute runs).
