Emergency beacon

Trying to send rescue. Lets me select transport and area. But asking for resources but offers none so won't let me send expedition. What to do?

[Voice From Beyond]

You also have to select "expedition setting" button (bottom, middle) and choose which items to deliver or pickup on the expedition. Use the "fill all" button to select everything to the limit of the vehicle.

I ran into the same problem. This is dumb. There should either be no resource requirements for this expedition or the missing thing should be blinking red so that we know to pick it.

It is not designed well. It requires you to travel to the dot after scanning the area THEN select the rover mission, which then triggers the cargo mission. It's convoluted.

[Powerwombat]

...Aaand, now they're all dead because i could not get either the rover or the cargo truck to the site. Oh, well, i guess i won't be able to do anything that requires people.

I'm so glad other people are experiencing this. I'm loosing my damn hair!! Wtf do they want you to do...

They are just free people for tutorial type purposes. Most of your colonists you will buy from the market anyway.

Im on the second part of that same mission where you have to find the second capsule and I have no idea how to search for them. I scanned the same area and didnt see any other dots so i went to the map and cannot find anything listed as rescue or anything related to being rescued. I scanned three random ? marks and none of those were it then they died. I still have the mission to find the pod with the dead ppl in it and I still cannot find the pod.

convoluted is a perfect word for this. I dont get it at all. Most of the surface stuff in this game isnt fun and honestly just annoys me bcuz of how confusing it all is.

The second pod is to the right from the first one, there is also a point on the map that shows you an approximate location of the crash site, scan near that point and you'll find the pod.

We are going to rework this system in later patches to make it clearer where the player should scan to find objective. Sorry if the current way confused you. Hope you still enjoy The Crust

Scan near the pod 15 or 20 times and get ... not a damn thing ... all supposedly dead now .. good design .. ...

Same here. Just got the game as it looked fun, but I've scanned the area probably 50 times and found nothing. So frustrating as they just end up dying every time so have to reload and try again

when you scan you should see while lines along the circle, if they are larger its giving the way to travel for your next scan

Your not an idiot, it really hard to see unless you zoom way in, maybe they can change the inner hit markers a different color than the white, something that stands out against the white scan.
