[#2917][7.10 (538965)] The Queen's herald: Diplomatic Outpost in Teladi Space - Wrong factory is selected - fixed in a f

[neitsa]

• Version and language (e.g. 7.10 Hotfix 1, English, etc.).

7.10 (538965) - All DLCs; English; Windows 10 (Steam).

• Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).

Game was never modified.

• Game start being played.

Wayward Scion.

• Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.

I'm currently stuck at the "The Queen's herald" mission, with the "Diplomatic Outpost in Teladi Space".



For an unknown reason, the game chose another factory (which is completely unrelated to the mission; see "Pharmaceutical Goods Factory I" in the image below), rather than the one I built (upper left in the image):



As far I know (I double checked, but I might be wrong) the one I built specifically for the mission has everything that is needed:



I guess, the main problem is that I haven't found a way to tell the game which factory I want to transfer for this mission, but I might have missed something, though...

Please let me know if you need more information (or if I did something wrong). Thanks!

• Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.

N/A. Probable game logic bug (or PEBKAC, which is also possible).

• Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves *, screenshots and crash dump files.

Damn I'm really Sorry. It should be good now. Let me know if you still have an access problem or if you need more information.

Thank you very much!

Hello; sorry this one is a bit old but got another look, as 9.0 is smarter about station selection.

Thank you for the helpful report though.

It turned out the proper station was rejected as it was over 200km away which was a limit given by the mission but not well communicated. The limit is removed, allowing for sector-wide stations to be accepted, in a future build.

No worries, that's awesome! Funny thing is, I recently restarted a playthrough (8.0), and was about to do that mission again ^^

Thanks a lot for looking at it (and fixing it), and keep up the good work! Looking forward for 9.0 stable to land You guys are amazing <3

A very similar issue is happening for me in beta9 V8.
After buying the plot for the herald mission. The mission target switches to a different of my stations in Eighty Billion with a message that I did not built the correct modules. The quests than only updates if I build the boron modules in the existing station.
During handing in I can also only select the existing station, not the one I built for the quest

Unless you provide a link to a savegame, this is just a "me too" post, which the forum rules ask people not to post. With a savegame we can see whether your issue is actually the same as the OP's; without it have nothing to work with. And given that the OP's issue has been fixed, it seems unlikely that it's the same issue anyway, in which case you'd need to create a new thread and provide all the information requested in the forum rules in addition to the savegame.
