Best Order for Chapter 4?

[Jivebot]

So I just got a metric ton of quests dumped on me.

Can anyone give me some insight into which quests are best tackled in which order?

Are the companion quests timed like the main//planet quests? Am I screwed out of certain rewards or endings because I went to one location first instead of second?

I don't care about spoilers. Spoil away.

their a main mission where you can lose half your party if you did not stick to dogmatic if that the case be warned so i would do all the companion quests first just so it gives you the best chance they dont leave you

Will I get a crappy result if I do the companion quests in a certain order or another? If I save Abelard's family for last am I gonna show up and find half of them dead already?

Am I correct in thinking Yrliet's companion quest is directly tied to one of the main quests? Does that mean I need to jump on hers first to avoid that quest being in a rough state when I get there?

You can do anything in any order you want. There isn't anything time sensitive as long as you do it before finishing the chapter. Except iirc some minor dialogue changes if you do Quetza Temer 1st, before Footfall.
In my 1st playthrough I did Quetza > all available companion quests > Footfall > any new companion quest 1st before next main quest.

IIRC you only need to watch for Footfall but mainly for the smuggler companion since it ties to the occupation.
I dismissed her in the early chapter so it doesn't matter much.
