Stuck in Chapter 2, Not Enough Navigator's Insight

[LargeFarva]

I am stuck in Chapter 2 and cannot progress. I have 2 Navigator's insight and cannot go to the locked areas that need 3. I have been trying to trigger an event to get more insight but cannot seem to get one. I am running out of scrap from having to repair the ship. It seems I am missing some crucial step but cannot seem to figure it out. I have most settlements maxed out. Any ideas?

Warp between a bunch of yellow trails and you can get a random event that grants you some additional insight.

Otherwise, get ToyBox at Nexusmods.

1. Go to Dargonus and build the project that allows cheap warp lane creation (instead of paying, you get +1 point).
2. Don't forget to scan all systems. Yes, it happens we forget now and then :)
3. Build the other colony project that lowers warp lane danger by 1.
4. When House Orsellio comes to your palace, make a deal with them after the fight. Not with Cassia, with the leader of the house. That gives +15 points.
5. There is a voidship somewhere with mutants aboard. In the last room is a navigator. Save him for another bonus in insight.
6. Travel orange lanes and hope for a book event or a decision to make. These can give 2-6 insight. Maybe it works on yellow lanes too, but has not happened to me yet. These events are not common, but can be repeated.

Confirmed, works on Yellow lanes too. It will be an option to trust the Navigator on a decision or not. Trust the Navigator and get 2 or 6 points. I've only had one of each happen in my run.

I am way past all of that. I have been trying Yellow and Orange lanes repeatedly and have not gotten an event. Thanks though

That were all the options I came across. But all you need are the two projects, or just the first one really.
Then you go to star A and connect it with stars B-AN, pocketing 40 points. Now to star B and connect again from A-AN, pocket another 39, and so on. Even putting everything to green won't exhaust your points.

(Until they patch this...might be intended though).

Unfortunately I didn't pick that project originally and cant go back and do it.

Unfortunate :(
It jumped at me on my second run. On the first run I did not know yet, but here I thought "There is a project to cheapen warp lanes? Yes, please."

[LargeFarva]

Had to use Toy Box to get more insight. Progressed now.

[Alpharius]

im at the same point: grinding yellow warp lines or restart as heretic. oh boi do i wanne go heretic

Does feel like a broken mechanic if you get locked out of the game accidentally.

[Formous]

I specifically dont expend insight save to create a highway system. I leave the rest ironically for lvl farming.

Meanwhile you can gain 50 (FIFTY) navigational points just by letting Cassia stand behind you at magna ascensio.

They also added red routes to all main locations (when time comes) since release...but at release you could just generate unlimited nav. points by creating new routes with the Emporium building in Dargonus - pretty sure back in january 2024 when this topic was made it still was the case (sadly no longer possible).

I use ToyBox and just give myself NI as needed.

[Qoojo]

I think i sucked it up at one point and went with unsafe and dangerous routes a few times. Result is a message or i had to fight some warp critters.

I don't understand why games implement silly mechanics. If I wanted a game with stupid grindy mechanics I would play WOW.
