Expand and staff your new home won't advance at all.

[rollotomasi666]

Apologies if this is a duplicate post--I know people have had issues with this quest, but I can only find ones related to not being able to get past recruiting an Overseer.

Once I get to the "expand and staff your new home" part of Ghosts in the Machine, nothing I do seems to work. I've gone to several based (claimed them), created new bases and claimed them...today I created a new base computer, completely enclosed it in wood planks, walls, and roofs (I did not use the circular room), put a functioning door on one wall, created a separate closed room that abutted the base computer room, created a teleporter, a medium refiner, signal booster....

...Nothing works. The quest will not advance; no prompt, no acknowledgement I'd done anything. My brother says all he had to do was place a base computer, claim it, and then the game told him to create a cylindrical room. This did not happen for me. I've tried having the quest selected when I create the new base. I've tried not having it selected. I've warped in system and outside of system and back.

Anyone from Hello want to help?

Also, what is Hello Games' actually website? I'm seeing hellogames.org, nomanssky.com, and both of those sites report the last update to the game being 1.3.

I want to request a support ticket, but maybe I can't?

Thanks in advance.

The mission was vague for me, but once I made a foundation for the cylindrical room then placed the room on that and made a door for it, I got the info that I could make a construction computer. I did that and I got a waypoint to the nearest space station where a Gek overseer was waiting to be recruited.

Yeah, it's kinda vague. I only knew to build the room because of the wiki.

Thanks! I'll try it.

Turns out all I had to do was construct the cylindrical room. I had a robust base already, but I didn't even need to make a foundation--I just attached it to the launch pad, which automatically gave it a door. Ridiculously the cylindrical room, sans anything holding it up, is floating but connected to the launch pad via the door.

And the quest advanced. Thank you!

Not a problem. The quest definitely needs to be worded better. At the stage I was on I was told to hire someone from a space station but had no marker telling me where to find them. So I had to look up the wiki for the quest and I needed to build a cylindrical room first.

Very weird, honestly.

This is out of date info. Been playing through a new game and you do not need to build a round room...you do need to read and follow instructions. With the missions, it is important to not click through the text boxes....actually read them and do what it sez.

here are some possible problems: you have multiple bases, you have a freighter
