Can't find a Gek farmer for the agriculture station

[emitfudd]

At some point yesterday I had the task of creating an agriculture station (which I did). Now when I interact with it I am told to find a Gek farmer at a space station. I don't have this as a secondary mission so how do I find one? I have gone to 2 different space stations inhabited by Gek and interacted with all of them.

Keep travelling to Gek systems and talking to the Gek. You'll eventually find one.

Don't forget you can find them on the planetary trade centres as well

When I had to recruit the guy for the science station it had a secondary mission and I followed the icon to a space station and it led me directly to him with the icon above his head. Shouldn't this work the same way?

[knighttemplar1960]

It should but if you don't have the side mission you won't get the icon.

There may be one in a GEK Space Station in the back room just to the right of the Multi-tool Vendor.

I went in there again and I keep seeing the original Gek that I already hired for the first station.

Are you trying in different solar systems?

I'm not sure if it's different solar systems but it has been different space stations. The same Gek is always behind that door. The strange part is he gives me the same dialogue with the option to recruit him while he is already recruited.

I completely overlooked the arrows at the bottom of the secondary mission screen. I do have the mission to recruit a farmer. The icon keeps sending me back to the same space station and there is no farmer there.

If you happened to talk to that Gek during your 16, 16, 16 mission he won't interact with you ever again on that save (a result intended by the devs). If that is the case you'll have to travel to other Gek systems and talk to them all until you can find one to hire.

This is ridiculous. I just read a dozen different posts on a google search of people not being able to find the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ farmer and no solution. Why the hell do the developers do this ♥♥♥♥???

warp or teleport very far away and reset the quest.
then make sure it is the active quest.
check the hints at the bottom right as to whether the gek is in-system or if you need to consult the galaxy map.
either way goto the system and station indicated, again make sure the active mission is the recruit farmer look for the icon

The glitches in this game are really bizarre. I was on a space station talking to a Vykeen asking for help with dialogue and all of a sudden the farmer quest highlights on the bottom of my screen and a Gek appears right next to us. I talk to the Gek and he is the farmer I have been looking for. I didn't even have the farmer quest active. At least I got my farmer.

It's always the last place that you look...
