16/16 Quest Portal Bug
So I'm starting to gather the glyphs for the quest 16/16 and I got bugged. The portal that I found and repaired does not activate and shine blue. I can interact with the console, (I repaired all the glyphs) but just look around, nothing happens. Do I need a requirement to use the portal or is it a bug? The quest says "Portal Leyline Echo Detected... // SEEK THE ATLAS // ".

I do not think you did it right.
I did not need to fix the portal.
Did a green poratl icon turn up?

Well, the red icon shows the portal console when the quest is active. I accessed the console and every glyph was damaged so I repaired them, but the portal doesn't activate. Quest icon still shows the portal console.

Something is not right here, you don't gather the glyphs in for any missions/quests.

I've done all the missions several times and the only one you get the glyphs from is the Purge and you get them by warping. So what exactly is the name of the mission in the log? What does it say to do?

Check that the glyphs are fully charged, if any of them is not charged or just partially charged, the portal won't work.

Well, what does it mean to charge them? All of them needed parts, like repairing the ship, and I provided the parts. Now all the glyphs look nice and blue but the portal doesn't activate..

Well I'm not collecting the glyphs FOR the quest, I just decided to get them thus I'm doing the quest 16/16. Here: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/16_/_16 I'm at the step "activate a portal"

Each glyph need an element, for example cobalt, but it need certain amount of it.
The game let you input a lesser amount, let's say 10/20 and it will show as "completed" but it won't work until it's filled.

For anyone still searching for this, this worked for me. I put elements in for everything and they all turned blue and looked great. But the quest didn't move forward. Still said look for the ley line and activate the portal or some such. I went back and one of the glyphs was only at 85% (guess I didn't have enough of whatever element I chose), so when I added the rest, the quest moved on!
