stuck in the anomaly

[louasphalappe]

Hi!
i've been stuck for 2 days on nms base.
i'm at "explore the space anomaly" (to receive nada's message about Artemis..)
there's a target on violet on helios but i only have "talk about his past" and "leave". he doesn't ask me for my latest discoveries!!
on nada i only have "leave" and nothing else. in the journal, whether i'm on the space anomaly or on the star path doesn't change anything.
does anyone have an idea??

Did you visit Polo?

If it has been 2 days you may be experiencing the same bug that the person who recreated this thread experienced. You'll notice I commented in that thread as well because it also happened to me on my current playthrough.

The only working solution that thread's creator came up with was to use the save editor to push that specific quest forward by one stage. Instructions for how to do it are in the other thread.

ah ok sorry I didn't see this message.
where is the backup editor?

[Mr. Bufferlow]

In my experience with that scenario. You can end up with two different anomaly missions at the same time. One is the introduction to it, where you are instructed to talk to certain NPCs in the Anomaly and at least browse the base part machine in the middle between the suit and ship vendors. It works best if you actually buy something but supposedly you can just browse.

The other mission, if I remember right, is related to the Settlement Taste of Metal mission. In any case, the mission is to talk to several NPCs at the Anomaly to find out about some item you need to resolve. I think the course of conversations leads you to the NPC in the corner of the big Teleporter room and then back to Polo or Nada.

To resolve the conflicts, you just have to take turns activating each one and try to follow it to see which one is bumped in the queue. It should resolve.

This game does something that confuses many players. It will throw 'new missions' your way and automatically change the current mission to the new one, this changes many things, including the current way-points. Look in the Log (ESC menu, LOG) and make sure that the mission you want is the current mission, if not change it and things should resolve for you.

the save editors are 3rd party tools... uncle google know where they are ;)

Use your H key to cycle through quests so your active quest is the one you want/need it to be. If it is not active then the indicators aren't there so you wont get credit for meeting specific NPCs. It's a pain in the ass for sure.

I think my problem is slightly different
it's Helios that doesn't ask me for new data even though I have some! it's him who blocks the mission..
I scanned plants and animals on new planets...

Yes, I do think you have the bug that other thread mentioned. The other replies in this thread are the more common issues people might have, likely because they don't understand that there even is a progress-blocking bug that can happen.

he has a purple target above his head

[louasphalappe]

the right solution is to wait a day in real life!!!
thanks I left

Were you able to fix this? I have the same problem

[Spocks Toupee]

There are a couple of mods on the nexus that fix the problems on the Anomaly.

“Fix Helios Story” and “Tethys Radiant Brain Fix” (For when Tethys refuses to talk about Radiant Brains)

"Fixes the mission blocker that occurs when you talk to Helios before talking to Nada in the storyline.

You can remove this mod after you have talked to the other NPCs on the space anomaly.

Note: When you install this mod while your Helios is already bugged, there will still be an icon over their head until you finish the quest. Instead, go to Selene, who also has an icon on top of their head. Ignore Helios until you have spoken with Nada again. Then the icon over Helios will also disappear."

------------------------------------------

This mod adds the option to convert Walker Brains into Radiant Brains with the help of Iteration: Tethys residing at Space Anomaly.

In the vanilla game there already exists a "background mission" that should allow players to exchange these items, but the conditions for triggering it are... unclear to say the least. The intent behind this mod is to provide a stupidly simple workaround that can be used any time: as long as player has 1 Walker Brain in the inventory, it will be possible to get 1 Radiant Brain from Tethys.

Note that the option will be available only during Tethys' "idle cycle", meaning outside of the quests involving them and only when player has the brains in their inventory - otherwise the button will be greyed out.

It really helped me to enter the game after a day. The task continued on its own
