What are the requirements for Operation Hyena?

[clevider]

Before I sink more money into building the station for the Terran Covert Ops plotline, what does she actually want? I'd built one of the production facilities for smart chips and had another planned, but apparently I don't need either of those and instead need to build a second Si wafer plant?

The description says:

Argon Prime
Minimum plot size: 5x5x5km
Required constructs: 1x Argon L Container Storage, 1x Dock Area, 1x Pier
Productions: 2x Smart Chips, 1x Silicon Wafers

Under Objectives:

1. Buy: Plot in Argon space (5x5x5km) - completed
2. Build: Argon L Container Storage (1/1) - completed
3. Build: Dock Area (1/1) - completed
4. Build: Pier (1/1) - completed
5. Build: Productions: Silicon Wafers (1/1)
6. Build Productions: Silicon Wafers (0/1)

Hi,

in all my games up to now, the objective of this mission was to build two hull parts factories and then sell for a low price. Are you sure that you really are building the plot station? Or did you perhaps select another station building mission instead?

It's not always Hull Parts.

It's definitely the Terran plot mission; I guess it changed at some point. I regret not taking a screenshot earlier because it changed after I made that post. This is what it says now:

As you can see it now shows that the smart chip fabs were completed, but that only appeared after I completed them both. Before this, I canceled the second smart chip and instead built a second Si wafer fab. That resulted in:

...
5. Build Productions: Silicon Wafers (2/1)
6. Build Productions: Silicon Wafers (0/1)

When I saw that, I switched it back to two smart chip fabs and when the modification completed, I got the message from Dal Busta saying I needed to let the station run. My screenshot is from after that message. I note that the chip and wafer objectives are still not complete and the pier has uncompleted, but presumably those will be fixed once I change the price. Speaking of, it's lucky I went to take the screenshot because I wouldn't have known to go fiddle with the price had I not.

Incidentally, I wonder if the mission programmer noticed that Si wafer plants take Si as an input and those require solid storage. That storage module wasn't included in the specs and so I built one after Dal told me I needed to start actually producing goods. I also have a miner assigned, but on second thought, I should probably do manual deliveries in case transferring ownership of the station automatically gives them my miner too.

If I'd taken an earlier screenshot or had a save from that point, I would have made a post in the Bug forum. As it is, in case anyone searches the forums in the future, hopefully they'll find this and know to go by the mission description rather than the specified objectives.

I had two Hull Part fabs and one Ecell panel.

It does make sense for the script to select the requirements based on the current state of economy in Argon Prime.
