Stuck "explore the anomaly quest"
hey, i m at the step on the anomaly quest where i m suppose to browse base blueprint which i did and now they ask me to buy some, which i did again and again and again but the quest does not move forward, it's the seccond time i try, moving to another system, try to summon the anomly there, leaving, coming back all the BS... it s really start to piss me off. I ve seen a video where the guy just open the blueprint menu, didnt even buy anything and his quest move forward, wtf ?

Can confirm this worked for me as well. I had a quest to buy new exocraft blueprints from one of the vendors and once I had done that it had passed after I bought another blueprint from the construction research station in which then it had passed. Very strange bug.

Read the log carefully and any pop ups. There is probably a hint on what you specifically need to buy. When in doubt, chat up Polo and Nada and some of the other NPCs around the Nexus.

Return to the Overseer and see if they have any new info on what to do with what you bought or what they need you to buy.

The final thing that sometimes gets a mission moving is to scan from space. That seems unlikely given your situation.

In general, most players get stuck because they just don't read. Given that the game is currently in flux with the latest update, you can also just wait awhile until the build becomes more stable.

I got the quest alome amidst the star telling me "search the space anomaly for clues about artemis, find specific instruction by selecting the "space anomaly" mission in the log."

i select the space anomaly mission, it tell me "browse a huge attray of base part" i did that and now i have no more quest guide icon like before, just a hint telling me to buy more blue print for the research station with no specific, i allready bought for 90 of various blueprint, nothing happen.

This is strange. I played the beginning of the game several times and I remember my first visit at the Anomaly was to talk to several people in a row, one by one, and finally Nada opened the Nexus for me. I certainly do not remember having to buy blueprints for the research station.

The video i've watched show a guy doing exactly what i did except when the hint asked to browse a huge attray of base part his quest move on just by checking the bp in the research station like you said, mine dont and ask me to buy bp. Man i ve seen so many posts about this fkin quest bugging all over the place, they update their game, and it s still buggy af. It's not like it's a side quest i cant skip, it s the fk main quest... How to make players quit 101

I'm having this problem, both main quests tell me to explore the Anomaly, I didn't have this problem on gamepass, but I bought the game on steam like a week ago and been stuck on these quests since then, even did Expedition 12fully, and both quests still stuck
