Tobia does not accept the Copper requested? Why

[Brewskie Guzzler]

so i arrive at the 3 presidents spot, meet Tobias he tells me to talk to roosevelt and asks for copper. i return to storage to get copper , return to tobias. attempt to give the copper and no dice.

When will tobias actually accept the copper ?

talk to Roosevelt before you try to give copper to Tobias. Things in the quest list will be in the order you need to do them unless they are marked optional.

I just did this last night - Fair warning - SAVE (hard - not quick save) after EVERY encounter from EVERY NPC - It will bork and go wacko (you will know quickly - as every one starts trying to kill you (before they should be trying to!) and a reload fixed all of them for me.
I must have saved 50 times in the 2 hours it took me.

Make sure the copper is in your inventory for Tobias (not the ship) . All NPC become hostile at multiple points for no reason, reloading the last auto save resolved the all hostile bugs for me.

never had any NPC get hostile unless I was wanted or I shot them first. I just got to level 96 this evening and have played many hours. I do always hard save before I jump into a new system because sometimes I manage to hit one of the good guys' ship (pressing E key will screw up targeting), so I can just restart the last save and try not to screw up the targeting.

When you do the part of the quest line that involves putting down the rogue leaders you need to make sure that you ONLY attack and kill the leader. Attacking and killing any of the NPCs that aint a leader causes a faction hostility bug.

This quest line is extremely unstable, and can break in all kinds of ways, including looting corpses, doing things out of order, or just trying to do it at all can break it. As said, save often, multiple slots. Good luck.

Quest was running fine all the time for me, when returning to planet with copper and code, all doors were already closed and people standing there with guns, not hostile to me. but quest seems already broken from landing there. loading a save does not change anything. quest broken for me.

Not too worry, this partly where NG+ shines imo. Quest broken in this run your most likely able todo in the next universe
