So You Can Never Clear Your Mission List...?

[Pantherr]

So I have already learned that after completing the Atlas Path and clearing that mission from my list that it will return every time you come in contact with Atlas, or enter a system with an Atlas station in it.

Then, the only way to remove it from the list again is to complete the last step AGAIN, birth a new star, then travel to a black hole, and go thru it, which clears it from the mission list, which I have had to do 6 times already...damn annoying..

So yesterday after making a backup save I completed the game by doing the reset, just to see what happens when you do, and to see if that completed and removed the missions from the list, but NOooo, then it becomes "New Beginnings".... for how long..?

I am not certain about the the base computer mission as yet since that hasn't finished yet, but I would hope there is an "end" to it..

I am one of those players that, for several reasons, likes to clear the mission list so that everything is "done", and with this game it would also put an end to the constant, and annoying, popup messages in the bottom right of the screen, but it seems that is never going to happen..

This is an amazing game that does so many things right that other games do not, and I have not stopped playing it since I bought it, but it also has some rather annoying things as well...

I am not sure of their exact reasoning...but you always will have a couple of main missions on your log.

Once you complete the primary main mission, you get the "Explore a whole new galaxy" or something like that. It is really not a mission...just tells you that you are free to explore. Many players have multiple saves so I am guessing they added that so you can tell quickly where you are on a particular save. I have saves I have not fired up in over 2 years...but I will get back there eventually.

The Atlas path can be done as many times as you want. I have been playing since 2016 and have probably done that mission at least seven or eight times. Three times on my legacy save...just for fun.

I guess you will just have to learn to live with a populated log and a repeatable mission. It does not bother me at all. Remember this is a sandbox game and actually it never ends.

If those blue messages annoy you off as much as they annoy me, then this mod is for you.

Yeah, I get that, it's just the constant messages are very annoying...and you don't get the same sense of "completion" while there are still quests to be done... Never ending is fine, but there doesn't need to be quests in the log for that...

I am aware of that mod, but it hides EVERY message, including the ones you may want to see..

When you complete the base computer missions clicking on the base computer will give you the option of creating repeatable base computer missions. When you complete the Armorer's missions clicking on the Armorer will give you the option of creating repeatable armorer missions.

Also you can get rid of all side missions. Just not the 3 main ones.

[Fienyx]

Just wondering, which messages you count as ones you want to see? Personally, I don't like any of the blue messages. The details (ie: 3/12 hazordous flora remaining) can still be seen in the analysis visor. I wish there was a mod that removed the big messages that pop up when you learn new tech. The ones you need to click rmb to remove.

[Pantherr]

I haven't noticed the 3/12 hazardous flora ones before... but an eg is when you have to fix a frigate it's helpful to see how many points need repairing, how many pirates are still left to kill, and there are others at times..

Ok, well at least I know now I guess... Thanks..

[Fienyx]

Ah, I don't do freighter stuff, so was unaware of how many are involved there. My example was from a nexus mission to kill hazardous flora. :)

[Pantherr]

Well yeah, that tracks how many you have killed too..

There aren't quests to be done. It's a bug. Stop opening the log if it bothers you, that's what I did.

What bothers me is that once I check "New Beginnings", which is the setting for no missions, the missions auto-change whenever you go somewhere, do something or warp to a new galaxy. Dreams of the Deep always came with its message when I just entered a new galaxy and had other stuff to do. I wrote a suggestion to HG on Zendesk to add the ability to not auto-change missions or to deactivate certain missions. They will remain in your log, but won't activate on their own until you choose to activate them again.

[japp_02]

Ignore the mission log and do what you want. And if really you cannot stand poping-up messages use the mod above. You cannot erase missions from the log except regular missions taken from space stations - abandon them and they will be erased. And with other missions: how would the game know that you *never* want to do them? They are integral part of the game, no way HG will let you erase them in-game.

Other thing you can do is using Save Edtitor to mark all missions as complete, this is possible although not that simple, but it will not prevent pop-up messages from Atlas which are harmless anyway.

And yet another BUG which the Developers can't or won't Fix or Remove!!!
It's unbelievable!

I think Hello Games belongs in a dumpster with EA and Blizzard!

It's amazing how much you seem to know about their motivations. Are you psychic?
