finding farmer...
ok once I made the farmer slot game wanted me to get farmer. it said that he/she could be found at Gek space stations. I have looked as far out as 10 jumps from home base and found nothing. I get it that it may be farther but how would a player new to game and still on first system? I played different and got ships, freighter, money before going back to making the guys (like farmer) on home planet. I found first 3 quickly but not farmer. can someone help with this or is it just out farther than logical for beginning players?

hi

you can find employees from space stations.. yes. you can also find them from trade stations on planets as well. so long as the system itself is representative of the race needed for the professional being hired. (again, if searching planet side trade stations)

in this case "farmer" is gek. so you will need to search around a gek system.

find a planet or two, talk to some npc's (so that they send you to a planetary trade station) use your signal booster.. ect.

the more gek you talk to, the better the chance for finding one to hire.

all the best.

The Gek farmer should be pretty easy to find in my experience. Are you searching the space station 100%? The Gek is in a back room with the "station manager".

again..

check the planet side trade hubs/stations. usually 3-5 npc's on each. you will find one eventually.

cheers.

You have the quest selected and active? If you do the map shows the location.

This. You can search to the end of the galaxy, but unless you have the quest active, you won't find one.

fyi

you can receive the dialogue option without having the mission selected in the journal. have done this many times. however, if you have the journal mission selected, there usually will be a marker on the galactic map, showing you the system where the npc is located (if at a space station) .. this is usual for the first couple npc's, the science officer and the armorer. sometimes the farmer will not appear with a marker.

you can still find an npc to hire at a trade station (providing it's the appropriate race) even if one is not marked or available at the space station, if you talk to enough npc's. you can even find one at some of the interactive buildings on the planet itself.. if the npc has the dialogue option.

all the best.

You cannot just find a random farmer. You have to find the designated farmer. Just follow the quest marker

first off.. necro reply from 2019.

second you are incorrect. there is the designated NPC that is marked on the space station while the mission is selected and active (first activated) there are other random NPC's that can be found on other space stations (different systems) and trade hubs that have the various worker NPC's (farmer, science ect) that can be hired and also advance the mission.. again.. provided the mission is selected at the time of hire.

i have done this many times.. as i did not like the NPC model of the first designated choice. so i shop around for the NPC model i find fitting for the look i prefer.

all the best.

It will be in a SPECIFIC Gek system. It will be very close to the system your base is in.

Teleport back to your base. Select the "Hire a Farmer" mission. Take off and get into space, then enter the map for making jumps. One of the systems nearby yours will have an icon indicating that is where the farmer is. If you have the
hire farmer" mission as your current mission there should also be a line connecting your current system to the one whee the farmer is.

Note: if your base is already in a Gek system, the farmer might be in your bases systems space station.

This pattern is used for hiring the other base workers. Read the instructions, look for the icons.
