Bugged quests and console command disables outpost build
Hi All,
OK, being frustrated by not being able to complete 3 quests (including the main one) I decided to try the console commands. I don't care that much about the achievements so I gave it a go. I used god mode to get through the locked door at the bottom of the asteroid mine. After graving to one of my outposts I found that the E key (I am on a PC) didn't bring up the build menu. I rebooted and reloaded the save after I had used god mode and that was the result. I also was only able to see about 7 saves. I assume those were saves with the console commands.
Anyone else have these problems?
I really want to love this game but all the bugged quests means I have not played for a few weeks or so.
Any help by devs would be wonderful.

You dug your own grave. You didn't describe any bug, just poor judgement - using the console.

I didn't want to regurgitate what I had already posted that describes all the bugs. It was not in the post though so I guess but my understanding was that the saves before using the console would not be altered. Thanks for the cutting comment.

I didn't mean to be harsh but I think you should have known the risks of using the console where results can be unpredictable,

you won't really start having fun w/SF until about level ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE!

Yeah, that's 1 - 8 - 5

use the console to get there and the game FINALLY starts somewhat resembling a fun game. otherwise you will spend MONTHS of frustration playing an (almost) unplayable game

no way to "console out" the terrible plot lines, but the stuff just starts getting playable around level 1-8-5

again . . don't waste your time on the plot - just use the console to get there and even outpost building become FAR less painful (raw materials to build stuff)

Great on morphing legendary stuff.

Level doesn't really have a ton to do with fun. And you can level pretty quickly in the game. That said while I haven't run into any game breaking bugs on the computer there definitely are bugs. Hopefully they're getting addressed, I've seen some evidence to suggest they are. It's an okay game with a lot of potential. For now I've moved on though. Beat it, figured that was enough, time to give other games a chance.

I was able to restore my borked implementation of a console command. Since I couldn't actually play the game anymore I went with a uninstall and reinstall and it worked. I am back to being able to build at my outpost. It doesn't seem as there there is a console command to fix the main quest not showing a planet to go to for the "big" artifact. Does anyone know if one of them will work to fix that quest?
Thanks

Big? They are all the same size. What's the quest name?
