Research not appearing/Plots not triggering

Post by Castigere »

Hi all,

Currently just wasting time here, Ive got all DLC, unmodded. Completed Hatikvah and "Kingdom End" PHQ. Wayward Scion start. Built storage on my PHQ, says the asteroid is a "research station" but no research tab appearing on map screen. Not sure if Im missing something obvious. in the middle of Kingdom End plot, Tides of Avarice just triggered I think. Split Vendetta should be triggering (pre requisites met) but nothing. Ive scanned hundreds of nodes as I read somewhere that was a requirement. Zip. Anyone know why research isn't working? or why SV isn't happening?

Not with the Kingdom End DLC. Once you enter Heretics End and the HQ appears, that's it for that part. To get research started, dock on the station and talk to Boso Ta. I haven't done it this way, but if that doesn't work, you may need to finish the KE DLC first.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Yeah was wondering if maybe that was it. Seems a bit backwards to be doing plotlines with no research happening back home. Hey Ho. Thanks for the reply!

Ok kinda a major bug now. Finished Kingdom End plot, still no research available. Very frustrating, as I'm locked out of a major game mechanic. Has anyone else come across this? Am I missing something?

Have you talked to Boso Ta yet? That's how the research gets started.

Its bugged, found it on the forums. So for anyone with same problem, timelines has basically nerfed a lot of the plot triggers of the base game. Lost my 50 hr playthrough, workaround is to talk to Boso Ta before Hatikvah plot, Get research, then proceed. If you start the epilogue plot before it stops you acquiring research for the rest of the game. Others also not having Split/Paranid plot triggers as well. So one purchased DLC cancels others, honestly a poor show considering timelines was tedious anyway. If other plots dont trigger on new playthrough just gonna put it down.

The best way to help others, and yourself, with these problems is to post in the Tech Support forum with all the details and a savegame or two showing the issues. The devs do fix these kinds of things when they're brought to their attention.
