What in the fhresh hell is with build missions?

[Vaeo]

I invested a lot of credits but can't complete it.

Got the blue print for turrets, edited the load out, says there is now 5 turrets on the factory on the info menu. I have a pier, a dock, and two small storage for 50k storage space. What gives? Why won't this complete?

[Vaeo]

Extra mad. Flew to the place and it says I need to claim the plot. I already claimed the plot and built the factory on the damn thing! I can't double claim it! THAT WAS MILLIONS OF CREDITS AND HOURS OF TIME! Someone plz assist.

I had this same issue but figured it out. If you activate the quest in your quest menu it shows guidance. You are supposed to do the following before building the station
1) Fly to the spot specified, then it updates your quest to the next stage (claim the plot for building)
2) Claim the plot for building, go to manage plots and set it up exactly the size they specify, but this is a little weird and you might have to initially enlarge the size until u get the right size. If you do it right it will update to the next stage
3) Build the defense station

I didn't realize this as well and started the building from far away and even when the station was done I didn't get a complete mission. However, there is a work around.

1) Go to the spot specified in the quest guidance, it will then say deliver claim plot or something like that
2) open up manage plots, raise one of the X Y or Z coordinates by 1, then buy the license. This should update the quest
3) You need to go into the station configuration menu, like if you are building a station, click on the pencil next to the defense module you built. Put the turrets in again, confirm. Then, right click on the defense module on the screen there, move it away from where it is. Then move it back. It will DECONSTRUCT the part, and then RECONSTRUCT it. Quest will finally complete.

This is all most likely a bug so report it! Also, there is a second bug with this. The station is supposed to then be given to the faction that gave u the mission, but it doesnt and it ends up being your station.

The built producing factory is invisible and trading but non-existent.

TY for input. Did the station ever turn invisible for you?

I'm not really sure what is going on in your game, did you follow my steps? The only time the station disappears like that is if it is being deconstructed, but in my instructions I didn't say deconstruct the entire station just that one module

[Vaeo]

Also it's a factory not a defense station. Hopefully this still works.

It was like that when I got there. I didn't deconstruct anything. I visited to find an invisible or seemingly non-physically present station, but it's producing in the plan menu. It's making ore.

All you need to do to complete the mission is have a landing dock (cheapest one), a defense module of some kind (with guns on it) and a container storage. Anything else is not necessary. I am not sure if your station would qualify as the right kind. Anyway, try deconstructing the whole thing and just rebuilding some of it.

[Vaeo]

So i'm confused. it lets me put turrets right on the ore factory. And the initial quest was to build a factory. Not a defense station. But it still required 5 turrets which i can put on storage modules and stuff. Do I need a defense module? I do NOt have the credits to rebuild this bad boy. Also, proof of its present not presentness. . .

Oh sorry, I didn't see where u said it was a factory. It should tell u exactly what to build. Anyway, you still need to deconstruct it and rebuild it. But first you must progress the quest. Did you do the claim plot part I mentioned?

Yeah I claimed the plot again. 400 more k. Now it days I need to build my already built factory. I don't need another 4 million creds for this project do I?

No, it wont cost you anything if you just do what I mentioned up there. It didn't cost me anything (but had to assign builder again)

So what part should I remove? Do i just click remove? In the config menu?

Follow the instruction I put up there, you should not remove it!

3) You need to go into the station configuration menu, like if you are building a station, click on the pencil next to the defense module you built. Put the turrets in again, confirm.

[Vaeo]

Alright. looks to be reconstructing the pier. Hopefully this takes. I'll know in 5 minutes.

[Vaeo]

It didn't work. Re-trying your advice again to the letter. The ore refinery is red and counting down. All other station parts are green in the planner. I do not know what the red means. And a builder is assigned.

you need to reconstruct the specific part it wanted (so if it wants an ore refinery reconstruct that, make sure turrets are on it)

That's exactly what I did. Turrets are on the refinery. And I'm guessing if in the planner the text is red it means it's rebuilding?

Edit: i misread the map. only one constructor appears to be working on the task. Do I need to sit in the plot while it builds? And do i need to wait out entire build missions in build plots?

[BlackRain]

I am not sure if you need to sit in the plot or not, I didn't test it. Also, make sure the constructor didn't leave because they do leave and you may need to rehire
