They probably have something similar to a null value so when its created its empty.
Comment on xEdit for Starfield Progress is proving ... challenging?

Missing formids? Without a formid, (assuming it didn’t simply crash), you won’t be able to spawn it, delete it, apply a spell, nothing. Thats assuming it didn’t crash to desktop because thats invalid data.
Fucking Bethesda, what happened?

Speculating, I’m guessing this is a side effect from adopting The Forge for rendering and animation. I’ll bet those missing formids are now stored somewhere else, possibly outside the esp itself. Apparently something similar happens in the NIF format.
I don’t believe the formids are missing or the game wouldn’t run. They’re just stored somewhere a little counter-intuitive.

Interesting. Your comment is the first mention I’ve seen of that. Their page on global illumination is interesting. On the one hand, their little trailer shows the system displaying more detail than Starfield does, but on the other hand in their last screenshot they failed to build the lighting the same way as the reference photo.
