Can't start Autophage questline

[A. Silvermane]

I've got a settlement and fully expanded it, I've done the a touch of metal questline. Accordiing to the tutorial I should have to only warp away to the kovax system to start the Autophage questline but nothing happens. The save I'm using started as a Voyagers save which I then used in the Omega expedition and converted it back to a regular save. I can't remember did we do the autophage questline as part of Voyagers or was that Singularity? I really wish the quest log recorded what missions we've already completed as this is a headache to remember.

Edit: Also I've completed the Purge questline so its not that

IIRC :

To get access to the Autophage quest you need to.......
Complete the Artemis storyline.
Have a settlement and finish the “A Trace of Metal” questline.
Go to a corrupted planet in a dissonant star system.

the correct things to do :

Finish the Main Story

Unlock a Harmonic Camp

the Trace of Metal Questline is not required anymore

This And you don't have to jump to a Korvax system to trigger it. Any race will do, but you must be in your starship, not your freighter.

Seems the missing step might be the harmonic camp unlock. Have to get an echo locator from a dissonant sentinel drone first.

Ok I just went through all of this and have determined the actual required steps:

Steps to initiate mission start:
+ You must finish "The Purge" mission.
+ You must locate a harmonic camp either by luck (possible), or by using an echo locator that is an uncommon drop from corrupt quadripeds.
+ You must activate the console in the harmonic camp and be awarded the backpack cosmetic unlock.
+ You must warp to a Korvax system.

Upon completion of these steps you will get a message on your ship that is the start of the quest.

The settlement quest is no longer (or possibly was ever) associated with this quest start.

I searched for a while and couldn't find a camp on my own and I don't have the scanner in my inventory. I'm currently in a dissonant system on a planet with corrupt sentinels, I'll try aggroing them to hopefully get some quads that'll drop the scanner as I've done everything else

sorry, corrected again Nox, gamefiles say NEXT warp into a/any system in a ship (not in a freighter) AFTER all other conditions are met... NO race requirement for the system

No need to apologize! Thanks for the correction I will keep that in mind and thank you for verifying in the questline.

Noted!

Echo Locators for the Harmonic Camp can be found by destroying Harmonic Resonators on Dissonant planets. They show up on your visor. When you get close you can see whether they will drop an Inverted Mirror (usually) or an Echo Locator. Attacking it will probably cause the corrupted sentinels around it to go aggro. For easy farming, find a Sentinel pillar first and turn them off. Then every resonator will have a bunch of combat supplies barrel laying around instead.

This is great advice and much easier than killing those quadripeds.

Apparently if you have combat set to minimum then corrupt quad sentinals won't spawn. The moment I turned up the difficulty they started showing up and within a half hour I got the echo locator to drop and from there I found an autophage camp and got the quest going. Thank you everyone.
