Problem with 'Audience with the Autophage'

[merlota]

I switched to an finished up 'Prayers of the Machine' after hoping that would get enough faction to continue Audience. It didn't. I cannot ask Nada, Polo or anyone else in the game so..

Did they really design a system where you have to visit 40+ camps to grind faction before you can start on grinding their missions or have I missed something? Faction is at rank 4 and sick of it.

How do you finished prayers of the machine? I was at any korvax machine for that. Relict, Space Base, Fabric, still no update

[momopovich]

you normally don't have to grind at all, just speaking to every autophage in the camp and giving them gifts should be enough

Make sure you speak to the right NPC to advance the quest (i believe the one in the tent thingy)

[merlota]

I've spoken with everyone in multiple camps, even used an echo locator to get an old style camp. Nothing. The ruined phage in the tent of an old style camp has nothing more to say to me.

Now, when I was at the very first camp talking to everyone it was giving some message about 'cannot start mission because one already in progress.' That group was offering quests, I just could not accept them as the button was grayed out. I have no idea where that system was.

Sounds like I ignore this for a while and hope for a patch.

Lots of fixes for Autophage in the patch released today

[Morgan 'McDeath']

Fixed an issue that incorrectly stopped the Autophage from awarding Void Motes if players had unlocked every piece of Autophage armour.

Fixed an issue that blocked most Autophage presets from appearing in the Appearance Modifier UI.

Fixed an issue that caused the Autophage heads earned during the Singularity expedition to incorrectly appear as locked in the Appearance Modifier UI.

Fixed an issue that could prevent the Autophage from navigating correctly around their camps.

Fixed an issue that caused some Autophage-related entries in the Catalogue to appear too early.

I had to return to the initial camp where the quest started. That was in another galaxy so I wasn't getting any path in the map and it was actually giving a marker in a 'nearby' system in the wrong galaxy.
Returning to the initial galaxy gave a path in the galaxy map and a marker n the planet allowing the quest to complete.

If you used the landing zone at the crashed freighter the guy you need to talk to may be clipped under your ship

I can't complete the last one because it wants me to savage and repair a ship and the ship isn't there on either camp site so it's broken for me

[Foxglovez]

It's afraid of you and your savage ways.

You can try salvaging a sentinel ship the old way and see if that works. (kill discordant sentinels for 5 waves until they mark a ship)

You can go to the space station, buy the cheapest rag that lands, hop in/out of it, go to the starship interface and scrap it - it will fulfill the mission.
WARNING: BEFORE YOU DO - this is on experimental right now anyway - it is incorrectly placing the original location icon to a nearby landmark. Like a minor settlement or something. So put down a save beacon in the camp before you leave it. I don't know if this exists in the normal branch or not. Once you complete the mission - you'll never find the original camp to return to unless you placed a save beacon to go back to it.
