Story Stuck!!??

[jamesdharrison83]

So I'm about 15 hours in now - have built a base, built all the vehicles now and just explored and fixed the Aurora (Not been in captains cabin yet though)
Thing is I have had no radio transmissions for a while now and I have explored and been to all the current broadcast/lifepods that have shown up in the game up to now.

Currently there is nothing to do which makes me think the game is bugged. While exploring the Aurora I also couldn't interact with some of the data terminals in there even though they said press lmb to download - nothing happened when I did though.

Not quite sure what to do now.
Love this game but it does have some serious issues/bugs when it comes to the main story and objectives.

have you got the sunbeam event yet?

[Pepperyena]

There are probably less bugs than you think. A radio transmission (with a guy asking for 'the usual') should've given you the code for the captain's cabin - the other codes are on your PDA under 'codes and clues'.

I'm not sure if you get the Sunbeam event before or after entering the captain's cabin, but keep exploring and finding wrecks. The game is pretty open-ended and there's no set way to progress the story. If you follow the sunbeam and scan everything you see, you should be able to figure out a hint on where to go next.

At some point there will be no more radio transmissions. Check the data and clues category in your pda. There will most likely be an entry which tells you where to go next, although it only mentions at which depth and roughly where it is, without giving coordinates.

Have you had the sunbeam event yet and have you been in the precursor gun facility yet, the one on mountain island? If yes, then you should definitely get the next clue from the data and clues entry in your PDA.

Thx guys.
I saw the sunbeam crash a long time ago - Did it leave a wreck?
Never seen a sign of one
Will check clues too - some reason always missed that :)

I assume you did not visit "landing point" yet? That`s where you get info for your objectives.
Just swim to the stationary fog/mist left of the Aurora if you don`t remember where it was

So.. as hinted above:

At some point the radio transmission dry up. You don't get any more.
I figure that's possibly about 1/2 way through the game.

At THAT point.. you should be exploring areas you haven't been to before, and where lifepods aren't found. You should start taking clues about 'where to go next' from the precursor buildings you encounter, and you *have* encountered one already. Look at the data for that, it mentions several other buildings and you'll need to scoot along to each of those in turn.

Meanwhile.. you'll find that you *cant* scoot to uh.. the others because your equipment won't be upgraded enough. So you'll need to upgrade your equipment (cyclops, prawn, etc.. ) in order to discover those spots.. and ironically.. the that process will inevitably bring you to.. the spots you're looking for!

tl;dr : transmissions are early game. Late game is less hand-holding.

Edit: I forgot the 'mid-game' storyline of the Degassi survivors. If you haven't yet - then go visit the 'survivors head to this island...' message from um.. I think it's the first officer's log entry. You'll get bumped onto the next storyline thing... Which leads you to some unexplored areas before also drying up.

Thx all :)

Explore the gun platform since you saw the sunbeam event. You will find your mystery hehe.

[ZomBeGone]

Reread all the messages and such carefully and look for overlooked clues. Some are not so obvious.

I've played this game once and started again and after you get to the first underwater degasse base I believe the depth is 250m, normally after going there and getting the PDA's it will tell you about the next witch is 500m down somewhere but I have not got that update on my logs and I've already been in the orbital gun complex and watched the sunbeam get shot down and fixed the radiation leak on the aurora and so now I am like wtf! Surely it should have updated I don't believe I missed anything.

The story broke for me the first play through attempt. The story broke on the second play through. The first time, I went exploring instead of checking the radio, found a lot of stuff realized the messages I'm getting are all out of order. I'm on the second playthrough, did all the radio stuff up to the sunbeam event. I did the alien gun thing first while waiting for the sunbeam event countdown, did the sunbeam thing after. And here's where I broke the game...

I found the portal on the "Sunbeam" Island. I powered it up and found the second island (a lot sooner than I should have). Naturally I explored it to death (picking all the PDA, including the rendezvous PDA). I did the rest of the radio quests. Then I got waypoint for the second island. I knew then, that I wasn't supposed to get to that second island before this. I went ahead. The waypoint took me to the place where the rendezvous PDA was, as I already picked this up, that was it. Story dead.

[Odysseus]

The story is not broken, there is no quest, let alone a waypoint, if you do not know where to go it is because you do not read your PDA, otherwise you will know that after to have visited the islands you have a goal to find the energy station precursor and the base of the survivors of the previous crash, which will lead you always deeper; so explore, stop asking for a waypoint or whatever to tell you where to go; otherwise there is the wiki and google ....

btw nice necro :)
