Artemis Translator

[Alex]

I restarted the Artemis quest I was on after the latest patch, and it tells me that I need to install the 'Artemis Translator'. Where do I find that blueprint? I don't have it in my tech, and I can't find anyone on the Anomaly that sells it. Is it a bug?

The translator is an Exosuit tech and the blueprint is only granted during the Artemis mission line. If you don't have the BP - such as loading a save from a past major version where the tech didn't exist - then all you can do is start over.

You don't need to start over necessarily. I was on the part of the Artemis quest to triangulate the signal pre-Beyond and after Beyond launched I went through the rest of the quest line. The blueprint for his translator as well as other things are provided as part of the quest. IIRC you have to talk to someone at a holo-terminus and they provide you with the recipe, then you have to go to a space station and use it on folks of different races and it "helps" you talk to them or some such.

I think what happened is they already visited the Holo terminus before the quest gave it out. Now they can't build it and can't get it from the quest because they are past the point it given out.
So I'd think the only work around would be to to get far away and try to reset the quest.
Or start over...

Unless you really want the quest for the content it really does not do much anymore with the availability of the Anomaly and Nexus. I'm on my second start without doing any quest except getting the hyperdrive. It sort of makes an interesting time using the various game mechanics to get things rolling rather than being directed.

So if anyone else is having trouble with this, I don't know if it will help, but before I even got to this mission I had installed a translator from the Anomaly. It won't let you install the Artemis Translator with the other translator installed. I didn't realize this.

That's odd, I have all 4 translators installed on my Exosuit and I just checked, If I remove the Artemis translator it will let me install it with all 3 of the others still there.
I'd suggest a save/reload to see if that clears up the problem.

I will have to try that, I even tried to buy more techno slots but it wouldn't let me do that either, so I'm thinking it's a bug.

Are you sure it was not stored and sitting in a storage container or in one of your inventories? That might explain why the BP is not available to build since it technically already exists. I guess you might have sold it on accident- and not sure how that gets fixed.

As noted, it may just be you never acquired it from the mission. I would look to see if I can reset the mission perimeters and it may give you an icon to continue. Quite likely you have traveled too far for the old locations for the mission to work.

[Jaggid Edje]

It lets you build it even if you have one stored in regular inventory, that's the way I tested it 2 posts up.

Mine also worked in this manner so I had all 4 (useless) language tech installed.

I doubt that. I'd be surprised if save editing isn't an alternative to starting over in this scenario.

LOL, pretty much useless, yep.
My thinking was that maybe if my shields go down they'll break instead of something more important. With the Savage Sentinels mod, my shields do go down pretty frequently.

Translators have yet to ever break though. It's almost always Star Seed that does break in my game...it's installed for pretty much the same reason as the translators.

You can't build the translator from your inventory. You have to build it in one of the technology slots in your exosuit.

That's it - that was my missing piece of information. Thanks pal!
