Stuck? Can't figure out what to do next? I want to hear about it.

In the game's open world universe, the player is free to explore at their own pace and direction. Most of the game's core story line is expected to unfold at a natural pace with organic exploration, providing some hints if the player missed something critical. Since I know all the content in the game, it is sometimes difficult for me to recognize where players might get stuck if they do things in an unexpected order or miss some clue.

As of Kepler 17342, the number of common "stuck" points in the game have dwindled, but I still want to be aware of any.

• General: Some times you need to return to Celaeno for new information.
  
• General: If you think you are stuck, make sure you've investigated any yellow or purple highlighted investigation targets on the map (unscanned or unsurveyed anomalies). Also, check the Mission Log.
  
• Mid Game: The Heretic Portals require a key that should be found soon after you find one. Once a portal is active, you can fly into it.
  
• Mid Game: Some player have had trouble re-finding ships of The Trade Guild. They can usually be found in the constellation where you find the Aquarian Colony. If you search your log for "guild master" you can see where you last interacted with them.
  
• Late game: One of the three keys you need drop from the Devout in the green nebulae, but only after you've completed the Arkadian quest line.
  
• Late game: The unstable cores will eventually respawn after you leave the area
  
• Late game: Several players have had trouble locating the Missing Goryr vessel. Sometimes it is legitimately hard to find, but it is also possible to accidentally destroy. Failing to find it doesn't block the main story, but does prevent the mission from being completed.
  
• Late game: In Strange Matter, the mission reports the Xenium task as completed, whether or not you have the correct amount. You need to deliver 4 units to complete the mission.
  
• Late game: In the unstable "storm space", there's a trail of debris you need to follow to the NE.

You can now submit saves game via F8, but since feedback is anonymous, also post in this thread so I (or another player) can respond.

only mission i am really stuck on is: evacuations. i got all the data from all the probes

You must've missed a burst relay, because one of them is malfunctioning and just gives you the coordinates to a nearby system containing the planet Quldar.

do you remember how many there were and where you found the last one? i found 4 next to the nimion diplomat, the 6th near the nimion at the last flinger headed to the listening post world, and the 1st just south of the first system you start exploring krynian and nimion area. and none seem to have given co-ods to any nearby system.

i've been searching a bit, but i can't get anymore to spawn, and to me they feel like they spawn semi randomly without me being able to tell much consistency.

To get them to spawn readily, you need to use a jump gate / wormhole thingy, and then fly into the void. If you visit the void in 4 different spots after using the jump gate / wormhole, you only get it in one visit to the void.

Not the flinger thing, but the actual wormhole things.

Interesting what defines a point in the void to build up the count?

Usually I have to travel 3 sectors of void to detect something. Isn't always a burst transmitter though. Sometimes if I'm lucky, I'll find 2-3 things in one void venture (ie void trap, derelict ship and burst transmitter)

hmmm, yeah i did some long void travels where i traveled over 40k au between certain points.

Usually it works best by flying from calaeno station to ringworld. I frequently get stuff in that route.

I guess I am stuck somehow. I have only two missions to do - Starlance & Finding the Diplomat. I had 'found' the planet where the diplomat way before obtaining the coordinates. After I had obtained them, I still cannot survey the planet to get the quest proceeding.
In mission log I have the objective "visit the coordinates' already dimmed out, but no progress. Am I missing something or it bugged out?

There's a nearby ship you need to investigate (near the gas giant in the diplomat system).

The "normal" path is to get the mission coordinates first, then explore the system in which case you'll find the ship naturally, but if you explore the system first, you don't notice the ship.

If you haven't yet, please submit the save via F8 so I can check it out.

Thank you, it helped!

Can you submit your save via F8 so I can take a look?

Green nebula only opens up after several conversations with Alleythia, Calaeno Station, and the Goryr. Its where i got hung up on too.

[smilydeth]

the Alleythia, and the Goryr are no where to be found.

Seems like the Aletheia still managing to get lost/stranded, despite a previous patch. I'll need to investigate. For the moment, you can progress your mission by tracking her down, about two thirds of the way from Celaeno to the Primordial Wormhole.

You can get her to return home on her own by editing your save and searching for "ARRIVAL.PATCH_ALETHEIA2" and changing the "activeNodeIndices" from 3 to 2, then waiting by Celaeno for a couple minutes.

Thanks

Edit: solved, not a bug. Just found the Kyrnan race, probably that will unlock the advancement.

Hi there, I am stuck :)
I just submitted my save game - posting the case here as well.

From the help comments:
1) " The player is asked to find a missing diplomat. "
- this did not happen to me. I explored virtually everything that I could.

2) The starlance = You need to visit the listening post in the Nimion/Krynan minefield warzone area and crack it.
- without coordinates, I have no clue where that is :) I guess related to or unlocked after the point 1 stuff?

Currently, no mission points me anywhere, The starlance is pending. If this depends on a random encounter - no idea where to circle around to trigger it.

Note I have The guildmaster mission active as well and not solved yet, but somehow I doubt that is it - also it is without any coordinates.

edit: the solution if anyone has the same issue - exploring around the latter advances the story, just visit every star that you get on your map. I missed one. Plus there is a system with both wormhole and gate, the wormhole can be missed due to gate-back-to-home "for a moment and then forget you didn't go in" xD (coordinates 33.8 x 7.8 - the jump to Kyrnan space)
