After getting the mission in Foundations of an Empire to build the Paranid palace, I went to build the 10x10x10 plot in Pious Mists II. I already had a side-mission to build a defence station in Pious Mists II that was partially completed (ID: GWX-371). After accidentally set the build plot for this station to 10x10x10 instead of making a new plot, this station was registered as the Foundations of an Empire target. After making a new 10x10x10 plot and building a Paranid capital (ID: NFS-574), as well as finishing the GWX-371 defence station with control of it reverting to the Godrealm, GWX-371 was still set as the Foundations target. This meant I was unable to progress the story as the mission target was incorrect and not controlled by me anymore.
Savegame below with GWX-371 now in control of the Godrealm but still set as the Foundations target. NFS-574 has a Paranid Capital built which is not registering on the mission interface.

Modifying the savegame file to change the target of the Foundations mission correctly set the new target as NFS-574, however newly built modules were not updating the mission. Updating the state of the lines such as
Code: Select all
name="Uni_2_Palace_Foundation_Build_Station_Complete"
from complete to waiting fixed this issue. It seems after the GWX-371 defence station mission was completed it also set some lines regarding the Foundation mission to complete, preventing the newly built modules from being acknowledged, even after changing the mission target. After modifying my savegame in this way, newly built modules were registered and the mission progressed normally.
So it seems to be caused by an overlap between the desired station locations for the defence station and Foundations missions, and me accidentally setting an existing plot to the plot size desired by the Foundations mission causing the station to be registered to both missions. While a niche issue that I managed to fix by modifying my savegame, I thought it would be good to flag up in case any one else does the same silly thing that I did. Whoops.
