Dusty Bear & Moon Baby Missions Locked

[KILLERROBOT99]

I can't progress either of their missions. Dusty's mission says I need to finish getting the scanner but I already have the scanner so what am I missing?

There's currently several ways to softlock the story at the moment. Once of the most reocurring ones is the Dusty missions not progressing.

This can be due to a number of reasons that have not yet been fully listed, however, I did get softlocked in my first playthrough, but managed to complete the story on a successive game. It seems like rushing the dusty deliveries (the ones from luna link) before running "reclamations" for moon baby drastically reduces the chances of this particular softlock happening.

In addition to this, seeing how the softlock seems to be related to the radio call timer not working correctly, I would also advise doing missions one by one and making sure that you don't jump systems or trigger any additional radio conversations until finishing any ongoing calls.

As to how to recover your ongoing game, as far as it is understood, it is not possible at the moment, but the developers should release a patch that should address these softlocks. We don't know when it's coming out, though.

Fwiw, you get absolutely nothing from completing the Dusty/Moon Baby missions, and you get absolutely nothing from completing the last mission. So while I get it sucks not being able to finish the story as it is now, just know that your game is missing on close to nothing between where you are and the "endgame" right now.

That's unfortunate but I was hoping to get the achievements for the game all finished. I can't exactly back track as I have 22 hours into this save. I hope the fix comes soon and the devs don't just let the game remain this way indefinitely.

There's a laundry list of what they hope to address and what is already addressed in the update, which has been in playtest for about a week now. A patch (and successive ones, hopefully) will absolutely come, but we don't know when.

I guess we have to be a bit more patient for some patches are comming out by the developers. I have trust in this.

Im still stuck... completed.everything for Barrow, Eddie and Sour Candy. Did the scanner mission, but the side job mission for Dusty wont trigger. Is there a zone I got to go too?

Evidently has not fixed the issue as many people are still locked out of the missions

The Dusty Bear chain has been fixed. This bug occurred after the initial moon baby missions.

The current bug is that the 1st Moon Baby mission never starts, so you can't get to the mission that was bugged in this instance.
