(Spoilers) Main mission fails after building the URV forge. (Not fixed by 1.17)

anasule · Post by **anasule** » Tue, 19. Nov 13, 15:50

I've finaly managed to build the station, water, and urv parts of the station and finished the alliance quest i would like to point out that the alliance quest needs alot more help for how to do this.

When finishing the station your asked to add a manager and a specialist, adding the manager causes a crash every time you try to leave that system and theres no mention of what specialist is required and theres alot of options.

Heres the worst part though after the alliance mission there is no futher mission breifing info:

This is the case for myself my brother and a guy we know on steam who are all at the same point there is narative explaining that theres something happening at the gate so heres what ive done so far:

(Ive done all of this with no mission info at all)

Travel to the albion gate
Unlocked encyclopedia entry
Had a long fight and was told to retreat
Spent an hour trying to work out where to retreat to
Jumped into albion
Unlocked encyclopedia entry
Jumped back into devires
Went to fervid corona
Was told not all ships made it back and some may be at another jump beacon.
Rage quit because i cant be arsed checking every system in devires...

Please can this be fixed!!

how did you get the urv wharf and stuff to build? i have the main forge done and the stage 2 of the steel refinery but if i try to build anything else my construction ship doesn't take the order or if he does he bugs out and fly over to the energy cell sales place in fervid corona and just sits outside it

Do not assign a manager until all three sections are built - this prevents your constructor ship from becoming part of the station and bugging out buying wares.

All you need to do is go to where the 2nd gate is, if you paid attention to previous missions you would know exactly where that 2nd gate is since you already went there before.

Still not fixed in 1.17 have managed to get past that part of the story line and eventualy you have a mission breifing again have got as far as attacking the xenon and am now back to no briefing at all ...

The last NPC convosation was that we had access to albion again ive been to every system in albion and not managed to trigger the storyline progression.

Was above to try every system in devires but the constant crashing in highways has put me off for tonight.

That's what mine did (is doing). I thought maybe I messed something up.

Well flarb. I guess I have to start over then.

Small question how do you get them to actually start on stage 2 of the forge. I click on it under the architect's plans menu, select the upgrades to go with it and complete it. But then they don't start doing anything nor is there any trade icons to 'sell' it additional wares. Also the construction ship is back to it's normal look after I loaded the save game no longer in the spread deploy mode.

you need only 1 factory per type (3 types there) usually second stage is second factory of type you already build (so don't needed),
you select stage and click EXTEND.

but if architect don't switch (after he said that we build what you ordered) to build mode (menu changed) when you had bug,
only thing how get around - put manager, but he will make more troubles...
(but for once will solve that bug).

I just tried this and yes, you will have to go back to an earlier save. Unless Egosoft fixes it.

Confirmed. I tested this for hours and hours. There are just way too many links to that Construction Vessel in the save file. Furthermore it seems that since its a plot vessel, all its scripts are stopped and its essentially dead in the water even when you unlink it from the manager and station manually.

The safest option I have found so far is like others have said, do not install the manager until all upgrades are done. I still have yet to test it with a regular non-plot Construction Vessel to see if it also bugs out when assigning a manager.

I have managed to stumble my way through the plot line quite far now, working with Split as I type this. My saves are the Radiation Belt saves on nexus.

I had problems to extend my urv wharf but for me worked a solution i found on the german forum. Once you give your construction vessel the order to extend your factory, leave the sector by flying through a highway or using another ship to jump with. After comming back the construction vessel is waiting for material to finish the built.

I hope these will work for you as well.
