[#5757]BUG [9.0] Can't complete Survey Local Regions Mission

[johnnyo]

Took a "Market Manipulation Schemes" group quest from PIO trade union. Was able to complete a few "Identify Regions of Abundant Resources", but I got to the "Survey Local Regions" mission on the list, I was able to identify a location with 3 Star Ore and Silicon, but the mission is only giving me credit for the Silicon, but not the Ore. I have found multiple 3 star locations with ore, but it still will not complete.

I can confirm, same issue on my side.
Also a Segaris Trade Guild mission, in my case in Gaian Prophecy. Nividium is done, ore and silicon just will not register.

Same on my side, I'm here specifically for this.
Version 9.0, fresh start.

Even if my resources probes say I've the number of stars corresponding to the required silicon density, the mission don't validate.

I can share save an screenshot of needed, but this is more a post to add visibility to this issue.

Thank-you!

Just as a caution - there were display vs requirement issues with this type of resource density mission before 9.00 perhaps because of rounding differences between probe result displayed (or stars now) and actual numerical mission requirements. Example.

It's probably the problem indeed, since half of my mission was validated, but the main problem, is that the stars are even less clear than rounded number. I need 5 start hydrogen. I've found 24k+ up to 29k. Without number, I have no idea if I just need a few hundred more and just need a small tweak of the beacon, or I'm off from several thousand and need to go in a different part of the sector. It makes this mission really not fun. Especially in hostile space.

[Shokujin]

Yes following the information found on internet, I was suspecting something like this.

But in this case:
- Is it still possible to know the wanted density or now we only have stars?
- The probe also display a value on his side, is it the value from the probe itself or from his detection circle?
- What I mean is, if the density found by the probe is not enough, do i need to put the next one to have a bigger detection area or they can be side by side?
- Since we're in 3D, is it really a detection circle or a sphere ? In this case do i need to space probes from the same distance on the z axis than on y and z to have the bigger detection area possible?

As @Teneombre said, having to think to all this in an hostile sector is not really fun.

Thank-you!

Version and language: 9.00 (611726), Russian.
Whether or not your game is modified: No, the game is completely vanilla. No third-party scripts or mods are used.
Game start selected: The Emergence (Восхождение)

Exact nature of the problem:
I am doing the "Find Profitable Regions" (Prospector) guild mission in the "Matrix #451" sector. The objective requires finding Hydrogen with a 3-star density (★★★☆☆).

I found a rich spot and deployed a resource probe. The resource probe info window explicitly shows 3 full yellow stars for Hydrogen (and around 26k density in numbers). However, the mission tracker does not update, and the quest does not complete. The trigger seems to be broken. Turning the mission active/inactive or ordering the pilot to deploy it does not fix the issue.

Any changes made before the issue occurred: None. No recent software, system, or game setting changes.

Same problem for me, fresh start 9.0.0 teladi guild quest. I placed so many probes, still unable to complete. Really annoying.

Have the same issue where its impossible to complete even simple Guild missions like Teaching The Ropes or Finding Abundant Resources (or whatever the wording is on those) no matter how many probes I launch that have the right amount of stars required.

No more 'me too' posts unsupported by new information or quick issue replication please; they really don't help the devs with either investigation or fix testing.

Is there any way to send feedback with a suggestion to remove this type of task altogether until the problem is resolved?
Obviously, these missions are extremely unstable (if they work for anyone at all), which is why a significant part of the guild task chains is blocked.

[Alan Phipps]

.. or we use Tech Sp to allow the devs to get the issue prevented and fixed in future versions as appropriate. That is where different vanilla saves for investigation and fix testing will help.

I don't think the missions are unstable, just that the mission briefing requirement and probe result indications are possibly using a star display rounding method such that the probe result appears to meet the stated requirement when in fact its actual numeric value is still a few decimal places lower than that required. The current solution, though tedious, is to keep looking and probing.

The same thing used to happen to a lesser extent when the missions used rounded decimals rather than stars.
