First bounty hunter mission. Troubles (bug? or am I stupid)

[Lommo]

So I went to the first planet and the guy escaped, then I searched for clues and it sent me to another planet in the same system, but still, the mission status didnt update. It still told me to look for more clues where there clearly were none left.

I also searched the surface of the second planet and some of the underground throughly, still tells me to look for clues.

What should I do?

Assumptions, oviously i dont rember starting quest that i did decades ago

Decades ago? These quests are brand new released with the patch...

yes around week ago, thats whole decades for me, its also not like the quest are something special to remeber them

[koskeusko]

I wouldn't blame @ndy since most of Peacekeeper missions are same. I runned through 6 Peacekeeper stations 2 days ago and i dont remember anything specific about 1st one, except for it was tutorial mission with that whatshisname novakid "partner".

Those tips are general for all of them. Kill everyone, scan everything, loot everything, use notes and CD's. If you need to scan planet for clues, just run around abit, and marker to bad guys will appear.

op here, doesnt it update the mission when you search for everything in the first planet? Because I've already explored the second one and theres nothing to be found

It works like this: You take the quest, you select it as tracked/active, you press the "go the location" pin in the star map. You follow the objectives. If you have multiple bounty quests on the same planet it may auto jump to another one (and may also jump to another one if you complete the current one).

When you first arrive at the planet you are just supposed to roam around/explore until the compass things activates. Once it activates go to the indicated location (sometimes at the surface, sometimes underground).

When it comes to searching clues the variations i have seen are as follow:
1. Defeat selected target (he/she tells you where to go next).
2. Scan hand prints using the scanner (gets a DNA clue were to go next).
3. Turn on a computer or similar item (the item tells you were to go next).
4. Get advice from a "helpful person" that turns out to be the target fooling you.
5. Find a note or similar in a container telling you were to go (make sure to activate/read the note).

The high priority targets may send you on a wild goose chase across multiple worlds until you finally track down the target. The normal targets usually are at the first location.

Should be noted that the game spawns the hideouts as needed for the quests. If you have searched the planet before the stage were your supposed too you won't find anything since the game has not spawned the hideout yet.

If its bugged i would suggest abandoning the quest and reacquiring it at the peacekeeper station again (Haven't done this myself, but that is the way it works with other quests so i'm assuming its the same with bounty quests).


P.s just in case, if you are using mods or a very old character that may be messing stuff up.

already got the mission, turns out there was a fingerprint way out of the mission area. Thanks for the explanation btw

I've been having troubles with bounty hunting, but mostly because a compass never shows up when I go to a planet. Even if I've found the person I need to apprehend the quest marker says "Search the planet for the target's signature" and not once do I get a compass pop up

I couldn't proceed in the first bounty, figured it out and all I missed was a clue at the first hideout

[Bhaer]

need help i skipped reading a note that had the numbers that i needed to type into a keypad so i can open a door to get the bounty

[Bhaer]

never mind i got it wrong sorry

Same problem here. I searched the Internet and can't really find a solution.

Here is the solution worked for me I figured out:
1.Locate your universe folder, it should be ../Starbound/storage/universe
2.Find the .world and .system file which has the name of the coordinate of the bounty quest planet, delete them (not sure whether both need to be deleted, I deleted both).
3.Start game, you will find the quest is reset.

PS.I'm not native English speaker so hope my English is not hard to understand. Hope it helps anyway. :)

This is what happened on my first mission:

I attacked the target and he teleported. I checked all the boxes and containers. Turned on the computer and checked that out. Used the scan mode to find the hand print on the mirror. The computer told me what planet he went to, and yet the quest said I still had to search for clues. I spent half an hour searching. I used scan mode on every item I could find. I looked in all the caves in the area and still couldn't find anything.

Conclusion: I ended up abandoning the quest and getting a new one at the Peacekeeper Headquarters or whatever. BUT, I remembered later on that I found a chest before I'd even found the target location. There was a note in the chest that I hadn't noticed, and I had to read it. This should definitely be a glitch since I should need to find the target location before getting any unknown clues! I haven't had another problem like this since, but I still keep an eye out. Just posting this here in case someone else runs into the same problem I did lol :)

So has anyone had the problem were you do scan the fingerprint and says signature trace complete and uploading coordinates but the quest dosent upload

[Ahyoka]

You need to scan the Station on Nexus I. So you scan a finger print. Than you get the coordinates. BUT you need to read the letter in the box too. So the guy tells you where he is.

What should I do?

At first, I know this is an old post, but I wanted to answer it, as I didn't find an answer that could help me.

I had the same problem. Even if I had gotten a clue from the pc and from the wall-drawing, I still had to search for the chests nearby.
In my situation, there was a chest on the left, which was hidden beneath water (so it was hard to notice). Inside it there was a letter that helped my mission to progress.
