Stuck on Getting Started Quest Please Help
I already activated and used the teleporter on my home planet to get to the outpost...but it says I am still on the quest Getting Started, with description "Find the source of the mysterious message" Another thing to note is I have the quest "Boot Up" already completed..I am not sure what to do I believe the cause was I used the character and joined my friends server and we completed the quest. I went back to playing by myself and I went to complete the quest but it wouldn't complete itself please help because I am stuck from advancing down the main quest line. PS I have 38 ruby crystals and I can already successfully teleport to the outpost.

Did you walk as far to the right as you could go once you reached the Outpost? If not, do that next and see if that removes your progress blocker.

When you beam down to the first planet, walk until you find a Gate. That's the source of the mysterious message.

Ya you need to go to your starting planet in your game world and find the gate.
It is better to keep multiplayer and single player characters separate.

I'm playing SP and I still can't figure out or finish the first quest. I gathered the cores,opened the gate, did all 3 quests for the Scientist, got pwned (several times lol) fighting Deathwing, explored the entire surface of my planet, built a house, started a farm, have mined all the way to lava, and yet I'm still stuck. *bangs head on wall*

I've upgraded my matter manipulator in 2 areas and have almost 100 core fragments.

I've talked to the pirate and bought auto repair parts from him but there's no other dialogue (the walkthrough I read might be outdated though). There's a Grim Reaper guy but he just tells me I'm not ready yet.

What gives?

You didn't walk far enough to the right. You'll know you've walked far enough when you find yourself stuck in a cinematic cutscene.

Thank you so much. I was exploring and fell off the edge when I ventured left. When I got to the teleporter to the right, I stopped because I didn't want to die again rofl.

In the outpost u need to go to the right, mark the quest and follow the arrow.

Ok, theres an old lady, right of the Outpost, in front of a massive gate, that lady is the person u need to talk. They are right of the second teleport pad.

The gate on your starting planet IS NOT the source of the mysterious message, it is just the conduit, the source is at the Outpost, the lady at the giant gate far on the right side of the Outpost, there's no way to fall down there (unlike the left side). Her name's Esther, she should have a question mark above her head. A big gate a person in front of it, can't really miss it.
